The large formal Dining Room leads to an updated Kitchen with granite countertops, breakfast island, new backsplash and mostly new stainless appliances. A huge 1st floor Family Room addition at the back of the house provides flexible space for relaxing or gathering, complete with surround sound and a built-in desk with shelving for a convenient home office setup.
