The kitchen is bright and practical, with butcher block countertops and plenty of cabinet storage. A bedroom and full bath rounds out the main level, with 2 more bedrooms and a half bath upstairs. Outside, the choice is yours. Enjoy time on the sunny deck drinking your coffee or enjoy a peaceful stroll through the fenced in vegetable and flower garden.
