Two pantries provide exceptional storage, with the additional pantry conveniently located in the adjoining mudroom. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the inviting family room, complete with a gas fireplace, while a separate dining room and living room offer the perfect setting for more formal gatherings. Outdoor living is equally inviting. A charming screened porch and fenced backyard extend the living space, creating two wonderful settings for morning coffee, casual dinners, or entertaining family and friends. The newly replaced and refinished front fence and tall fenced backyard enclosure enhance both curb appeal and privacy.
