Inside, the layout was made for comfortable everyday living, with all three bedrooms on the main level and an open living and dining area anchored by hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and a stone fireplace. Just beyond, a sunroom wrapped in windows offers a cozy place for morning coffee, reading, or watching the seasons change through the trees.
