Tucked along one wall of the living room is the semi-open staircase that leads up to the second level. The wood steps have a carpet running, and a window is at the midway landing filling the stairwell with natural light.

Three bedrooms and a full bathroom are located upstairs. All three bedrooms have hardwood floors, single-door closets, window nooks and angled ceiling treatment. One bedroom has a window nook, perfect for a sitting area. At the end of the hallway is a walk-in storage closet.

The full bathroom has a pedestal sink with built-in mirrored medicine cabinet and light sconces above. The tub/shower has subway tile with colorful mosaic tile accents that match the storage nook next to the shower. The bathroom has a large window and ceramic-tile flooring.

Back on the main level, off the dining room is a step-saving kitchen with white cabinetry and solid-surface countertops. There is a window above the sink and a buffet counter next to the stove. Tucked off the kitchen is a sunny breakfast nook with panoramic views of the back yard.
