A covered porch, pitched rooflines, contrasting siding, and a standing-seam metal accent roof give the exterior character without feeling overdone. An expansive lawn, warm wood privacy fence, and restrained green front door complete the setting.
Inside, wide-plank wood floors and abundant natural light carry through an open living, dining, and kitchen space.
