The spacious living room opens into a custom "distressed look" kitchen with stained poured concrete countertops and backsplash, a breakfast nook with built-in cabinetry and an adorable pass-through to the side porch. Your dining room offers a working fish tank and there is a bonus room that will make a perfect home office or craft room.

Your guests will enjoy their private porch, overlooking the pool and large backyard. Your master bedroom suite occupies the entire 2nd floor!
