Upon entering the front grand double doors, you are greeted by an open “floating” staircase commanding a central location, the split-level living room featuring a spectacular rock faced fireplace with a floating mantel, vaulted wood beam ceiling and plenty of natural light. Step up to the Formal dining room boasting a Mid-Century design built-in buffet and direct access through to the kitchen. The Kitchen provides an area for informal meals and a built-in cook top and is waiting to be re-imagined. Large side by side laundry room off the kitchen with sink and storage cabinets.

The home was painted both inside and out in March and June 2026, new carpet installed in the living room, hall, stairs and bedrooms in July 2026, all termite work was completed by the seller in May 2026.
