The open spaces and transparency harmoniously blend indoor and outdoor living, making the deck in-between, a favorite spot for gatherings of friends and family. The open kitchen has been completely renovated with granite countertop, brand new stainless steel cooktop, double oven, and dishwasher. Huge island provides additional counter and cabinet space, and allows plenty of spots for eat-ins.
