A new deck and staircase overlook the backyard, while ample parking and side-yard access provide plenty of space for boats, trailers, and additional vehicles.
Inside, thoughtful finishes include acacia hand-scraped engineered wood flooring, hardwood floors, tongue-and-groove ceilings, a fireplace with an attractive mantel and hearth, and a well-appointed kitchen featuring a professional-grade Wolf gas range, commercial vent hood, double KitchenAid wall ovens, quartz countertops, stainless appliances, and natural gas service with an exterior grill connection.
