The first floor has an additional bedroom, living room, and den. Upstairs are three additional spare bedrooms, a bathroom and the primary bedroom with an en suite bath. Unique large foyer space separates the bedrooms upstairs.

This spacious home has undergone many thoughtful updates, including the kitchen, bathrooms, roof, windows, and electrical system throughout this person's ownership.
