The layout is both functional and unique. Entering through the side entrance off the paved double driveway, you are welcomed by a split entry. Upstairs, the main level features a bright and spacious open-concept layout with a full-length living room at the front of the home. This space could easily accommodate both living and dining areas and flows nicely into the kitchen. The remainder of the main level offers a convenient main-floor bedroom complete with a 2-piece bath, along with a cozy den or office that could also serve as a dining space.
