Welcome to this Southern Living Magazine Dream Home!

The dining room connects with a gourmet kitchen with cabinets which provide ample storage, stainless steel appliances, glistening granite counter tops, a pantry and a breakfast nook with a built-in storage bench. The large and bright living room welcomes you and feels as though it was made for cozy evenings around the wood burning fireplace with a nice glass of wine, reading your favorite author, playing family games, conducting deep conversations or just watching movies.
