French doors connect the dining room to an oversized wrap-around deck overlooking a lightly wooded backyard. The compact eat-in kitchen also opens to the rear deck. The primary bedroom has two closets, while updated mechanicals and an available generator add practical features. Set on one acre, the front-located septic system leaves room for possible additions.
