The kitchen anchors the residence with stone counters and a breakfast bar, flowing seamlessly into multiple living and dining areas ideal for both everyday comfort and entertaining.

Abundant natural light streams through updated windows and spills onto the covered porch and rear patio, while the fully landscaped backyard with mature trees and automatic sprinklers provides a low-maintenance outdoor sanctuary just steps from Shoal Creek Greenbelt and Pease Park.
