The main level centers around a great room that flows into a wide galley kitchen and an inviting eat in dining area, anchored by a charming breakfast bar framed with a native stone accent wall. The kitchen itself has been elevated with updated Corian countertops and a stainless steel appliance suite from Amana and Bosch. Upstairs, both bedrooms are generously sized and each offers the convenience of two closets, while the primary suite includes a cozy window seat with built in storage tucked beneath it. Both bathrooms have been completely refreshed, including a downstairs powder room with playful 1950s style black and white diner tile and built in shelving that adds real personality to the space. Comfort and efficiency were clearly a priority for this home. Ceiling fans are installed in every room, and tinted, dual pane vinyl windows dressed with plantation shutters work alongside two skylights to keep the interior bright while holding down cooling costs. A spacious walk in laundry and storage room sits just off the large, partially covered patio, an easy spot to unwind after a long day or fire up the brand new gas grill for dinner outdoors.
