Inside, the home has been fully drywalled, including the ceilings, creating a clean and modern finish throughout. Updated flooring flows from the entry through the dining and living areas, while the kitchen features ceramic tile flooring, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and beautifully updated cabinetry.
