Beautiful hardwood flooring flows throughout most of the home.

Original French doors open to a spacious dining area, accented by built-in corner cabinets, creating the perfect setting for both casual meals and formal gatherings.

The partially finished lower level offers incredible potential for additional living space. The focal point is a striking, oversized stone fireplace with built-in shelving, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Ideal for a game/media room or create a unique entertainment space with a modern speakeasy vibe.
