This week’s featured home is best described as roomy. As in room to grow, and rooms to spare.

Looking forward to family meals, you’ll notice the spacious eat-in kitchen is virtually brand new with refreshed fixtures and stainless steel appliances. Another example of the ample space the house has to offer. Yet the real gem of this part of the home is the garden doors connecting to the upper level deck. A perfect escape during warm days to overlook the fully fenced yard, the outdoor gas fire pit and views of the tree lined lot.

There’s also a full sized dining room for the bigger scale family/holiday events.
