A charming front courtyard welcomes you to the home, creating the perfect setting for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The inviting entrance is accented by a glass sidelight and transom window, while inside, tall ceilings, architectural details, tile and luxury vinyl plank flooring, Bermuda shutters, and ceiling fans throughout create a bright and airy atmosphere.
The eat-in kitchen features granite countertops, light cabinetry, newer appliances, a decorative tiled backsplash, breakfast bar, plant shelf window above the sink, and a double slider opening to the courtyard, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
