A picture-perfect front porch beckons owners and visitors to enjoy the idyllic vista and mature landscaping with a cup of coffee or tea on crisp mornings or to curl up with a book on cool evenings. -----

Gleaming oak hardwood floors can be found throughout the living areas. The galley kitchen is functional and cheery, with heart pine floors, crisp white cabinets and stainless appliances.
