The first floor features a large galley kitchen with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, spacious pantry storage, and room to sit and sip your morning coffee.

With its views of the courtyard and idyllic fountain and pond, it’s a scenic space you won’t want to leave. The first floor also features a sizeable coat closet, a dedicated laundry closet, and a discreetly located powder room complete with a glass chandelier, Venetian-inspired mirror, pedestal sink, and beadboard wainscotting.
The second floor of the home features an expansive living space with a wood-burning fireplace, large windows, built-in shelving and storage, beautiful moldings, and a built-in bar. One of the home’s two bedrooms is located on this level as well as one of the home’s full bathrooms complete with a walk-in shower and marble tile.
The top level of the home features the owners’ suite. This retreat is complete with spacious closets, a large renovated full bath with marble-tiled floors and walls and a Carrara-marble topped vanity, as well as an expansive veranda with sweeping views of the surrounding area.
