The living room features luxury vinyl plank flooring and a cozy wood-burning fireplace, flowing seamlessly into the kitchen, which offers bright white cabinetry, ample counter space, a center island with counter seating, and a charming breakfast nook. Adjacent to the kitchen is a versatile Florida Room area with abundant natural light, a convenient powder room, and direct access to the wraparound deck. The main-level primary suite offers easy single-floor living and includes a French-door entry, vaulted ceiling, stackable laundry closet, private deck access, and an ensuite bath with a tub/shower combination, updated vanity, and natural light.
