Enter the spacious foyer, flanked by a formal LR and DR all with natural hardwood flooring. Embrace the rear view from the updated kitchen with natural cherry cabinetry, granite counters, recently replaced stainless steel appliances include built-in microwave/convection oven, French door refrigerator w/freezer drawer and gas cooktop.
