The kitchen sits at the heart of the home and connects naturally with the main living areas, while a separate dining room provides additional space for everyday meals or entertaining. A bonus family room adds even more versatility and could serve as a second gathering area, game room, home office, or whatever best fits your lifestyle. The upstairs primary bedroom offers generous space and the opportunity to create a truly personalized retreat. The primary bathroom will need updating or replacement, and the home would benefit from new flooring, fresh paint, and some minor drywall repairs.
