The living and dining area flows seamlessly into a spacious family room where a vaulted ceiling and bay window fill the space with soft natural light. It is the perfect spot for morning coffee, quiet afternoons or hosting friends. The kitchen feels fresh and functional with a new range and a pantry that offers generous storage space.

The oversized one car garage provides space for a vehicle and a golf cart, and the widened driveway and expanded front porch give you extra room to welcome guests.
