This unique 4-bedroom home is a must-see in person! The open floor plan features a spacious living room with vaulted ceilings and a wall-to-wall brick fireplace, flowing into a dining area and an attached kitchen with newer cabinets, tile flooring, and included appliances. Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms and a full bath. The fourth bedroom is separated from the others for privacy, but could also be used as an office or den. There's also a generous basement for storage. Bonus: a huge 24x42 garage with two doors and a workshop.
