The adjacent dining room with its beautiful chandelier has just the right amount of casual sophistication and is the perfect spot for family dinners. The dining room flows effortlessly into the open kitchen, which features a large walk-in pantry and a generously sized laundry room just steps away. The heart of the home is the spacious family room, designed for gatherings and quality time. From here, step outside into the peaceful backyard, where you can unwind in the shade near a soothing fountain while listening to the soft hum of birds.
