Its adjoining remodeled bath elevates daily living with refined finishes and a luxurious heated floor. A second bedroom, half bath and dedicated office ensure ample space for modern work-from-home needs. A beautifully remodeled kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area and a cozy living room anchored by a fireplace, an ideal space for both intimate evenings and relaxed gatherings. Downstairs, a generous family room with second fireplace provides additional comfort and functionality. A third bedroom and remodeled bath with dual sinks and a soaking tub offer a serene place to unwind. Step outside to a large rear deck overlooking the creek and open space beyond, and ideal setting for outdoor dining.
