Main living level:

 

Enter the unit into a custom-built mudroom area with cubbies and hooks so you can kick off your shoes and unload your stuff.

 

Then step into the spacious living room with warm oak floors, high ceilings, deep crown moldings, and sunny southern exposure.  Glass French doors open onto a private covered deck, creating an additional outside room great for dining alfresco, relaxing with a book, or catching a warm summer breeze. There’s a convenient ½ bath off of the living room that was renovated in 2019.

 

Down a small hallway flanked by “8 over 12” windows, you’ll pass a coat/pantry closet on your way to the dining room and kitchen. The open concept kitchen has granite countertops with an overhang for additional counter seating and undercabinet lighting. The stainless-steel appliance suite includes an LG refrigerator (2019) with a bottom freezer drawer, Bosch dishwasher (2015), Whirlpool electric range (next to a gas line; possible to convert to a gas stove) and microwave. The Shaker-style maple wood cabinetry provides ample storage. With the convenience of having the dining room that opens to the kitchen, it’s easy to entertain!
