The dining room opens to a flex space, perfect for a piano or desk area, which flows into the renovated kitchen, creating a functional and stylish culinary space. The renovated kitchen and breakfast room boast handsome cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, a tin tile backsplash, a stainless steel GE French door refrigerator (purchased in 2023), a pantry, a laundry closet, and a sun-drenched breakfast room with access to the back deck and yard. The main level is complete with an updated full bathroom and two bright bedrooms.
