The home itself is divided into two sections with a breezeway in between the two central areas ... one for living and one housing the bedrooms and a family/TV room. A lovely patio with an outdoor grill and tables, as well as a large, manicured front and back lawn with flowering shrubs, provide peace and solitude, as well as the perfect backdrop for entertaining.

The home has a sunken living room and a large secondary living, and family room as well as two dining areas...one for more formal dining and one located near the patio for a quick bite.

The large kitchen features a 5-burner stove, refrigerator, oven, range hood, and dishwasher and is spacious enough for a small kitchen table and chairs. Appliances come with the purchase price. Some furnishings may be negotiable. The kitchen is bathed in natural light thanks to a row of windows over the sink area looking out into the beautiful backyard.
