The dining room feels more dressed up with shadowbox wainscoting and glass doors opening to a spacious deck. There’s plenty of room for a table in the kitchen, along with a full suite of stainless steel appliances. A powder room is nearby. Upstairs, all three bedrooms have wood floors. The primary suite gets the standout bathroom, beautifully renovated with bold tile in an oversized shower, a separate bathtub, and a furniture-style double vanity. There’s also a walk-in closet.
