The kitchen is right at your fingertips, and this expertly designed space marries timeless design with contemporary amenities. Marmoleum flooring, solid surface counters, ample storage, gleaming appliances, and even an inviting dining area are all in the dynamic mix.

One of this home’s top benefits is how much versatile square footage is ready for your vision. A huge unfinished basement and a newer, generous 2-car detached garage built by York out back are brimming with possibilities. Create the art or music studio, home office, hobby space, or home gym you’ve always wanted.
Al fresco dining, hosting out in the fresh air, gardening on sunny days, and plenty of space for play are all on the horizon thanks to the backyard oasis. Sway in the breeze on the deck swing or relax on the patio while admiring views of the established greenery and flowers showing off their blooms.
