The modern, renovated kitchen is a chef's dream, with ample counter space and stainless steel appliances. Two well-appointed bedrooms and a beautifully upgraded shared bath complete the first floor. Upstairs, the spacious owner's suite is a true sanctuary, with a sitting area, oversized window, skylight, and a large, gorgeous, renovated bath with double vanity and marble tile and countertops. The two-car garage offers ample storage and potential for expansion, while the current owners' thoughtful transformation of half the space into a professional gym showcases the home's versatility.
