This charming home features great light and space throughout. A thoughtful and bright entry opens to a large Living Room featuring bay windows, and a modern fireplace rebuild with stone surround. The gorgeous recently renovated kitchen features white mission cabinets and quartz tops with subway backsplash and a fantastic breakfast nook.
