The spacious first-floor primary suite features a private full bath, while two generously sized bedrooms and a second full bath are located upstairs. A first-floor laundry and convenient lavatory add to the home's functionality. You'll love the charming farmhouse kitchen and the warmth of the original-style wood floors throughout much of the home. The inviting living and dining rooms showcase wood floors, classic chair rail, and a beautiful wood-burning fireplace. The spacious family room is a true gathering space, featuring gorgeous knotty pine paneling, a second wood-burning fireplace, and large windows overlooking the peaceful, private backyard.
