The home has been freshly painted in tasteful designer colors, adding to its bright, airy, and modern feel. The kitchen is the heart of the home and a true highlight. It boasts gas appliances, a walk-in pantry, plentiful cabinetry and counter space, and an open bar area perfect for casual dining or entertaining guests. Whether you’re preparing family meals or hosting friends, this kitchen offers both functionality and style. The adjacent dining area flows seamlessly into the living room, creating a warm and inviting environment ideal for gatherings and conversation. The primary suite is a private retreat featuring a tray ceiling with crown molding and accent color, a spacious walk-in closet, and a luxurious en suite bath. The bath includes a Roman walk-in shower, double vanity sinks, and elegant finishes that make it feel like a personal spa. Guests will feel right at home in the two additional bedrooms.
