MAIN FLOOR

The open layout connects the living room, dining area, and kitchen, making it easy to spend time together while still having space to spread out. A half bathroom, laundry closet, and access to the porch and private backyard are also on this level.

Living and dining: Unwind on the comfortable corner sofa or in one of the two leather chairs, with a 75-inch TV and a wood-burning fireplace. The dining table seats six, beside a bay-window bench surrounded by plants.

Kitchen and laundry: The kitchen includes a coffee station, double-door refrigerator, double oven, pantry, and cookware for preparing meals at home. A front-loading washer and dryer, along with laundry supplies, are available for your use.

PRIVATE BACKYARD

Our secluded backyard is a favorite place to slow down. Enjoy your morning coffee, prepare a meal on the grill, or relax beneath the evening lights, surrounded by greenery and comfortable outdoor seating.

UPSTAIRS: THREE BEDROOMS AND TWO FULL BATHROOMS

All bedrooms and full bathrooms are on the second floor and require stairs.

Primary bedroom: A king-size bed, dresser, spacious closet, and private bathroom with double sinks.

Second bedroom: A king-size bed, closet, and desk.

Third bedroom: A queen-size bed, dresser, and closet.

The second full bathroom includes a bathtub.
