    Interior Features:

    A stunning spiral staircase serves as the home's centerpiece, linking all three levels with architectural grace.

    The main floor shines with a beautifully remodeled kitchen featuring modern fixtures, a cozy dining area, and a living room with plush seating, a native-stone fireplace, and a Smart TV—perfect for gathering and relaxing.

    The primary bedroom is a serene retreat, boasting a king-size bed, an attached full bathroom, and convenient washer and dryer access.
