This 2 bedroom, 2 bath home features a vaulted wood ceiling in the living, dining, and kitchen area of the home. The stone wood burning fireplace is a lovely and warming focal point to gather around. Hard wood parquet floors in most of the home add warmth and beauty. The larger, primary bedroom has it's own ensuite bath. The home and large 3 car garage were built in 1989.
