Features well-appointed lighting and fixtures, Koehler soaking tub in bath and stainless appliances. The kitchen also features custom-made hardwood countertops that can't be described. They are gorgeous! First floor features an open floor plan, living room, kitchen with breakfast nook and built in pantry, two bedrooms with shared full bath, mudroom/laundry room just off kitchen with a large counter for folding or projects, and an extra half bath. In addition, the oversized attic has been converted into a loft.

And additional storage for holiday decorations, seasonal wardrobe or whatever you need. The house sits on a an oversized (double) lot with mature trees and a creek running through it. A small walking bridge with lighting crosses the creek giving a park-like feel to the outdoors which includes a tree-swing, iron sitting bench and a firepit. To wrap it all up, the home includes an alarm system. Come see this home! Its worth your time!
