Boasting five spacious bedrooms, three inviting reception rooms, and a generous farmhouse-style kitchen, this home is designed for both comfort and functionality, complemented by three bath/shower rooms.

Upon arrival, the front of the house presents two entry doors. The central main entrance leads into a grand reception room, featuring two fireplaces, one equipped with a cozy wood burner.
