This four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home enjoys many updates by the current owners. Hardwood featured on the first floor, and in the main bedroom. The beautiful, gourmet kitchen was fully gutted and reconfigured in 2017, with neutral decor, stainless steel appliances, and granite counters including an extension with room for two stools.
