This unit features a welcoming foyer leading into the spacious living room with an oversized slider to the relaxing balcony. The formal dining room is stunning with gorgeous built-ins and the stunning kitchen features custom 42" cabinets, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, a gorgeous Italian glass tile backsplash and a breakfast bar. Retreat to the master suite featuring a large walk-in closet, and a sumptuous upgraded bath featuring a granite vanity, linen closet, upgraded tile and a seamless glass shower.
