Adjacent to the kitchen, a stylish dining area features a wooden table that comfortably seats six, while an outdoor dining space on the screened-in porch is perfect for al fresco meals with seating for eight.
At the back of the home, a second well-furnished living room with another flat-screen TV provides an ideal space for relaxation or watching different programming than in the front living area. The first floor also boasts a serene king bedroom with a private en-suite bathroom, ensuring comfort and convenience for guests.
