The upstairs floor plan now has three large bedrooms, two baths and a spacious master suite with walk-in closet, soaking tub, over sized shower, and private patio. A special feature is the large unfinished attic. Downstairs has been designed with today's lifestyle in mind. The open kitchen has an eat-in area and attached family room.
