Lake Hollingsworth home with a versatile layout and 0.37 acres to spread out! Enter the home and take a seat in your eat-in kitchen with large windows overlooking the front yard and flowing wood floors throughout. Spend time cooking on granite countertops and a full set of stainless steel appliances while your guests relax in your eat-in kitchen dining room.
