The kitchen has lovely cabinets, stone countertop features, luxurious appliances, brick accent wall, and an enchanting breakfast nook that overlooks your garden. Heading up the grand mahogany staircase you reach the second level.

Throughout the second floor there are Downton Abbey inspired door plates on numerous doors. In addition there is a guest bedroom on this level, with their own full bathroom. Finally there is a laundry room to finish off the second floor. The picturesque third floor has 2 large dormer style bedrooms, and a full bathroom. The scale of the home is truly felt in these bedrooms as the large windows provide a ton of natural light and opens these rooms up to feel larger than a traditional dormer style bedroom. Both of the Piazzas overlook the large fenced in lot that is meticulously maintained. From the Confederate Jasmine Vines running through the fence wall for natural privacy, to the Row of Taylor Juniper Trees placed to create more privacy for years to come. There is also a storage shed that romantic vines have grown over. The 3 vehicle off-street driveway runs directly towards the storage shed, running parallel to the driveway is a delightful garden to the right, and tucked away in the corner is a fountain. So each day when you pull into your home you get the feeling that you just placed yourself in the center of your own botanical garden.
