Large windows create a bright and inviting living room with new laminate flooring and cozy wood stove in corner hearth. Original shiplap siding, walls and wood ceiling are unique and delightful features. Kitchen remodeled in 2020 with new stainless appliances, double oven, flat surface cook top, microwave and new counters. Open deck on three sides with an enclosed sunroom housing a hot tub.
