Recessed lighting, stunning refinished hardwood floors and wainscotting all add to the appeal, and the completely renovated gourmet kitchen is simply draw-dropping. There’s a convenient laundry/mudroom and a new powder room at the back of the home, and you can step directly out to the back porch and your fenced back yard.
