The front-to-back living room which features a wood-burning fireplace is anchored by gorgeous custom built-ins and overlooks the beautiful backyard. French doors lead into a newly updated sunroom with exposed brick and plenty of windows. A bright and modern chef’s kitchen boasts new quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, white cabinets, and tile backsplash. The kitchen leads to the formal dining room and opens directly to the back deck. Two spacious bedrooms and two full baths complete this lovely home. Laundry and plenty of storage in the basement.
