Exterior & Curb Appeal
The exterior showcases a symmetrical and balanced façade that blends modern farmhouse character with traditional comfort. Clean gables, board-and-batten accents, and well-scaled proportions give this home a timeless presence on a variety of sites.
An attached two-car garage includes a storage bay for lawn equipment and tools, and the optional bonus room above features a full bathroom—adding extra flexibility without expanding the main footprint of the home.
Open & Connected Living Spaces
Upon entering, French doors open into a foyer with convenient access to an office or playroom via barn doors. The living room takes center stage with a fireplace and direct access to the **12′-deep rear porch**—perfect for indoor-outdoor connection.
Exposed beams visually separate the living area from the kitchen, which features a generous island for casual meals and prep work. The adjacent dining area provides additional seating for family gatherings and meals. 4
Kitchen & Outdoor Living
The kitchen is designed for both everyday cooking and entertaining, with a large island and views into the dining and living areas. From here, a spacious rear porch—with an **outdoor kitchen area**—extends the home’s living space outdoors, making al-fresco meals simple and enjoyable.
Bedrooms & Privacy
The owner’s suite is tucked privately on the left side of the home and features a 5-fixture bathroom plus a pass-through closet with direct access to the laundry room—an everyday convenience that simplifies routines.
On the opposite side, two bedrooms share a full bath with double vanities, offering comfortable, well-planned private spaces for family, guests, or multipurpose uses. 7
Bonus Room & Flex Space
