A recessed front entry leads to a particularly inviting, sunken living room with an elegant, broad masonry fireplace whose expansive hearth doubles as seating, serving as both a focal point and gathering area that not only opens up to the dining room, but out to the pergola as well. The kitchen features granite countertops, original cabinetry, hardwood floors, indoor laundry, and an adjacent, cozy family room that opens to the backyard. The scale and openness of the kitchen, dining room, and bookend living spaces are nicely suited for gathering, relaxing, and entertaining.

Additionally a long, covered patio creates an inviting setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. With ample space for a large table, the patio is particularly well suited for hosting family and friends, enjoying a leisurely meal, or simply spending time outdoors.
