The gourmet kitchen is the centerpiece of the home, featuring upgraded white trim-topped cabinetry, granite countertops, a classic subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, gas cooktop, wall oven, built-in microwave, and an oversized center island perfect for gathering with family and friends. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area is enhanced by a newly installed Andersen sliding glass door that fills the space with additional natural light while providing seamless access to the custom paver patio.

The living room offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere with a beautiful stone gas fireplace, in-ceiling surround sound speakers, and remote-control blinds for added comfort and ambiance.
