Off DR is open kitchen with handsome oak cabinets, striking hunter green countertops and black appliances. Fluid floorplan allows for easy movement between rooms. Dramatic glass handrail, which can be appreciated from both kitchen and DR, is a showpiece and highlights steps leading to finished LL.

That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
