This updated pool property is perfectly situated on a cul-de-sac and occupies a nearly half-acre lot. The spacious main level begins with a grand foyer, complete with a coat closet and a convenient half bath. The heart of the home is a beautifully designed “French Country” style kitchen, featuring glass front cabinets, a family planning desk, and a striking designer backsplash. This kitchen seamlessly connects to the formal dining room and formal living room, both of which are elegantly finished with hardwood floors. Adjacent to the kitchen and dining room is a sunroom, also with hardwood floors and skylights, offering a bright and airy space.
