A welcoming front porch opens to a light-filled, open-concept interior. The gourmet kitchen features custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, glass tile backsplash, and an island with seating and designer pendant lighting. Slate flooring adds sophistication, while hardwoods extend throughout the main living areas. The spacious dining room is ideal for entertaining, and the living room centers around a classic brick fireplace with wood stove insert. A light-drenched sunroom with tile flooring and beadboard ceiling offers a serene extension of the living space.
The expanded primary suite showcases a beautifully appointed en suite bath, highlighted by a custom barn door crafted from reclaimed Pennsylvania barn wood. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and main-level laundry complete the floor.
