Inside, gray wood-look luxury vinyl plank flooring flows throughout the home. Large windows fill the spacious family room with natural light, creating a warm and inviting place to relax. The kitchen features a double-basin sink, stainless steel refrigerator, washer and dryer connections, and a water-filtration system. A convenient side entrance provides easy access to the yard and makes outdoor entertaining simple. Two similarly sized bedrooms each offer two windows and a closet, giving buyers flexibility for sleeping space, a home office, or a guest room. The bathroom includes a spacious walk-in shower finished with porcelain tile. The owner has already taken care of several important improvements, including replacing the HVAC system within the last five years, updating the electrical system throughout the home, installing a Nest thermostat, and adding a water-filtration system.
