Step inside to an impressive, updated foyer featuring an all-new modern staircase that sets the tone for the rest of the home.

The kitchen is the heart of the home, complete with a center island, pantry, eat-in area, and chef-style appliances. Sliding doors open to a redone deck and patio overlooking the serene preserve. The kitchen flows into a spacious family room with 12-foot ceilings, a central fireplace, and new hardwood floors.
