Highlighted by beautifully refinished wood floors emanating a warm charm that envelopes both levels. Central to its allure is a spacious large kitchen & dining area, serving as a hub for culinary pursuits and social gatherings. A bright living room, enchanted by bamboo flooring, seamlessly transitions to a vast .89 acre lush oasis. Encircled by a flourishing garden, a vine-clad Pergola offers a tranquil retreat, while a sunlit deck provides a scenic view of perennial blooms.
