A pretty beveled glass front door opens to a bright and spacious Great Room and dining area filled with natural light and enhanced by rich wood flooring that flows throughout the home. The thoughtfully designed kitchen combines style and function with granite countertops, a stacked-stone island, custom barn-door pantry with wood shelving, and black stainless steel appliances approximately three years old. An apron sink and rustic finishes add warmth and modern farmhouse character. Just steps away, the inviting living room features a striking rock-faced gas fireplace with a live-edge wood mantel, built-in shelving, and a rustic wood ceiling. A rear door provides direct access to the back yard. On the opposite side of the Great Room, a hallway leads to the guest bedroom and full guest bath, complete with tile flooring, granite vanity, tiled tub/shower combination, and convenient laundry closet. At the end of the hall, the spacious Master Suite offers a spa-like ensuite bathroom featuring a sliding barn door, double vessel sinks, and an elegant glass-and-tile shower with dual shower heads.
