Custom built in dining cabinetry provides additional storage, while wood look flooring runs continuously throughout the main living areas. Down the hall are three spacious bedrooms, a full guest bathroom with marble countertop and custom cabinetry, and a primary suite with walk in closet and private bathroom featuring a stone tile shower. Additional features include recessed lighting, dual pane vinyl windows, extensive storage, direct interior access to the attached garage, built in garage storage, upgraded electrical panel, newer attic fan and completely replaced attic insulation. The private backyard is surrounded by privacy fencing and an eight foot split face block wall and features an oversized stone patio, covered patio area, mature landscaping and a 10 by 12 storage shed. The generous side yard also offers potential for RV or boat storage. Recent improvements include a brand new roof and fresh interior paint.
