Newly installed southern pine flooring, custom cabinetry with inset doors and soft close drawers, exposed stone walls, double ovens, Bosch gas cooktop with custom hood,upgraded "wavy" subway tiles on backsplash. Walls were opened to the family room which features new flooring and a large fireplace (non-working). The side entry of the home was reconfigured to allow for a larger powder room and additional space was created for a stackable washer and dryer - located now tucked away off of the side entry hallway. A delightful sunporch is located off of the kitchen/family room, providing serene views of the rear yard. The formal living room features custom built ins as well as a working fireplace - recently restored.
