Indoors: Steps lead up from the front yard to a wide covered porch with a ceiling fan.
The front door opens into a living and dining area with white shiplap walls, bleached oak floors, exposed ceiling beams, a fireplace and access to a screened porch on the side of the house. This space is furnished with a white sofa, a dining table and chairs; like all of the other furnishings, they come with the house.
The adjacent kitchen, which is open to the living and dining area, has a large center island, stainless steel appliances, white cabinetry, open shelves and walls finished in white tile.
The primary suite is off a hallway extending from the kitchen. The bedroom has enough space for a queen-size bed; the bathroom has a double vanity and a soaking tub that sits under backyard-facing windows. A powder room and a laundry room with access to the screened porch are off the same hallway.
Stairs in the living area lead to the other two bedrooms on the second floor, both of which have built-in shelving and closets. They share a bathroom with black-and-white tile floors and a combined tub and shower.
Outdoor space: The screened porch can be reached from the living area, the laundry room or the front porch. It functions as an outdoor living and dining space, with a ceiling fan to combat heat. The front and rear yards are neatly landscaped with grass. A carport offers one covered parking spot; there is room for another car in the driveway.
