Just off the kitchen, step onto the maintenance-free deck, complete with durable composite flooring and a permanent cover, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Step outside to enjoy the beautiful backyard, which includes two mature apple trees, offering both shade and delicious fruit in the warmer months. A versatile den/second bedroom off the entrance and a full 4-piece bath complete the main floor.
