An air of sophistication elevates the first floor, where a fireplace-warmed great room reveals a media niche and surround sound, and a bright dining room provides the perfect setting for dinners with the kids or holiday gatherings with family, friends, and neighbors.

For added convenience, the kitchen leads directly to an attached two-car garage with EV charger. Upstairs features three bedrooms plus a versatile loft style desk niche perfect for homework.
