Very well maintained Energy Star home features an open kitchen, eating area, sliding doors to back deck, formal dining room (currently tv room), bright living room w/cathedral ceilings. Upstairs features 3 bdrms + loft area office (could be family play area). Master features large bathrm, walk in closet, vaulted ceilings. Main floor laundry room. Best yet…McFarland Schools!
