In the opposite direction, the newly updated dining area flows into the cheerful kitchen. Upstairs, you'll find an additional bedroom with plentiful closet space and treetop views, plus a flexible dressing room or den and a second full bathroom overlooking the peaceful backyard. The sunny eat-in kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring abundant counter space, open shelving, warm wood cabinetry, and all-electric appliances.
