The beautifully updated kitchen features an abundance of custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, eye-catching backsplash, an informal eating area, and access to the screened porch overlooking the peaceful natural setting. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the spacious family room with a custom stone fireplace. Additional main-level highlights include a charming knotty pine library with built-in shelving, a first-floor office with exterior access-ideal for working from home-and a private bedroom wing with pocket door leading to four generously sized bedrooms. An updated hall bath offers a double-bowl vanity.
