The open layout flows seamlessly into a formal dining room with custom millwork, crown molding, and a striking modern chandelier - perfect for entertaining or everyday living. The brand-new kitchen offers clean, contemporary design with white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and ample workspace. Each bedroom provides generous space and natural light, while all three full bathrooms have been completely renovated with custom herringbone tile surrounds, modern vanities, and sleek fixtures for a refined, spa-inspired feel.
