The home offers four bedrooms and two full-and-two-half baths, including a spacious primary suite with dual vanities and multiple closets. An updated kitchen with granite countertops and modern appliances seamlessly blends classic charm with everyday convenience. The laundry room is thoughtfully located for easy access, and the cozy family room features a pellet stove and more of the home's signature French doors.
