Inside, you'll find beautiful wood flooring in the Great Room and dining area, with luxury vinyl plank flooring in two bedrooms for easy care and durability. The Great Room features vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and French doors with built-in blinds that open to the screened porch and paver patio—perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
