Nestled within the sought-after Cornell Square community, this four-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom single-family residence with two-car garage enjoys partial lake views and a thoughtfully designed floor plan that balances everyday functionality with refined living. Upon entry, gleaming hardwood floors extend across the main and second levels. The wood burning fireplace and mantel ensure a warm glow on cold winter nights. The updated kitchen serves as the heart of the home, showcasing custom finishes and elegant design details that make both everyday cooking and entertaining a pleasure.
