At over 2,000 square feet, plenty of living space awaits the next homeowners. A comfortable and practical mix of carpet, tile, and hardwood floors makes maintenance simple, while amenities such as a fireplace, built-in shelving, and French doors turn this house into a home the whole family will want to return to each day.
