The main level is lined with Brazilian teak hardwoods and features 9-ft ceilings, decorative archways, a formal dining room, powder room, and recently renovated kitchen (2018) with white shaker cabinetry, granite counter tops, and a full stainless steel appliance package. The spacious back yard is the cherry on top. Upstairs you'll find three sizable bedrooms with original hardwood flooring and ample closets.
