Like most rooms in the home, the living room has attractive hardwood flooring. The living room flows into the dining room, which is separated by a doorway from the kitchen. The kitchen features white cabinetry, laminate countertops with a double stainless-steel corner sink and an eye-catching decorative metal backsplash. Appliances include a Whirlpool range, a Frigidaire side-by-side refrigerator-freezer, a wall-mounted Whirlpool microwave and a Frigidaire dishwasher. The kitchen flooring is laminate.

Each has a ceiling fan, and they share a tiled hallway bath with a shower-tub and ceramic tile floor. The basement, accessed by a door near the family room and kitchen, is essentially a storage and utility area, with washer and dryer hookups. The carport is located on the side of the house, with an entry directly into the kitchen, convenient for unloading groceries. The home also features a stone patio overlooking the back yard, a perfect spot for outdoor grilling and entertaining. The back yard is encircled by a tall wooden privacy fence, making the space suitable for entertaining and pets. In past years it has also been the site of a small garden.
