No detail has been overlooked, the home is TRULY move-in ready. The front has two entrances, one leading to a large mudroom, with brick herringbone flooring and shiplap walls. In the back double French doors open to a fully landscaped backyard (lots of trees!), complete with a large custom-built brick patio in 2017, pergola dining area, and separate lounge fire-pit area.
