To your left and down a few steps, you’ll find the open kitchen and dining area. Plentiful cabinets and countertop space line the wall, providing ample storage and prep space. The kitchen is outfitted with recessed lights, a double sink, and has stainless steel appliances including a KitchenAid 5-burner gas range with an exterior-venting hood, dishwasher with hidden controls, and a refrigerator with a bottom freezer.

Off the kitchen is a convenient mudroom area with built-ins and a back door that leads to the parking spot for this home.

The second floor bathroom is a full bathroom with a Kohler pedestal sink, a tile floor and a combination shower/tub with a tile surround. 

You’ll also find a linen closet in the hallway and a laundry area with front-loading LG stackable units.
