This home is filled with the character and updates you are looking for! Enter the vestibule and sunny living room with a gas fireplace that opens to a sunroom and an entertainment sized dining room with a built in hutch. Enjoy the beautiful sound from the built in speakers. Like to cook in a spacious kitchen? This is THE ONE with a vaulted ceiling, skylights, stainless steel appliances, & granite counters. Work from home or looking for a tv room? Check out the large walk out finished basement with great windows, storage, a ¾ bath, and a gas fireplace that provides nice year round ambiance.
