The Kitchen houses room for plenty of cabinetry and counterspace, and is designed for a gas stove, but can easily be switched to electric if desired. The driveway extends all the way to the back-side of the home, providing ample parking space. Not looking for a home to live in yourself? This home also makes an amazing investment opportunity!
