Just beyond the kitchen is an incredible butler’s pantry with custom cabinetry, prep space, storage, and beverage area.

Also downstairs is a dedicated study or office with a glass-accented pocket door for privacy, a finished laundry area with all new Samsung stack washer and dryer, and direct access to the main living spaces. Upstairs are two spacious guest bedrooms and a fully upgraded bathroom, creating separation for guests, kids, work, or flex space.
