An arched opening leads to the dining area, while the bright kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a gas range, generous pantry, new GE dishwasher and new LG counter-depth refrigerator. The spacious bonus room offers potential for a future third bedroom with the addition of a closet, while the separate office nook provides another flexible opportunity, including the possibility of a future half bath.
