The welcoming foyer features a powder room and leads to a light-filled living room with recessed lighting. The open dining room seamlessly connects to the kitchen, the living room, and the rear patio, creating a wonderful flow for entertaining. A modern chandelier adds character, while new sliding doors provide direct access to the backyard and stone patio.
