The renovated kitchen features a generous island and beautiful backyard views, with two spacious living areas, a formal dining room, and a large laundry room completing the main level. Upstairs, four bedrooms provide room for everyone and everything, whether you need sleeping space, home offices, or a little hideaway of your own.
