Step inside, and the living room welcomes you with natural light that flows effortlessly into the formal dining room, all set atop newly refinished hardwood floors that run throughout. The sight line carries you from the front door all the way through to the backyard, giving the whole space an open, airy feel that makes it live even larger than its footprint. The kitchen has been completely updated with granite counters and stainless steel appliances, and the bathroom has been beautifully updated as well.
