The main level is designed for everyday living, with vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, a statement fireplace, an oversized kitchen island, walk-in pantry, covered deck, and a primary suite you'll actually look forward to coming home to. Downstairs, the finished lower level gives guests their own space while adding a wet bar and plenty of room for game days, holidays, and family visits. Quality craftsmanship and thoughtful details are evident throughout, because right-sizing shouldn't mean downgrading. And with trails, restaurants, shopping, parks, and everything you already love about Johnston just minutes away, you don't have to leave the area you love to find the home that fits your next chapter.
