The formal dining room is bathed in natural light, with oversized windows that look out onto the peaceful backyard. Beyond that, the layout transitions into a kitchen ready for your personal updates and then into a spacious family room, where built-in bookshelves line every wallperfect for displaying collections or creating a cozy library feel. Two deep storage closets provide added functionality. A flexible first-floor room offers potential as a fourth bedroom, home office, or guest space, depending on your needs.
