The dining room is distinguished by a vaulted ceiling, expansive windows, an elegant chandelier, and sliding glass doors opening directly to the backyard. At the heart of the home, the well-appointed eat-in kitchen combines style and function with granite countertops, extensive cabinetry, tile backsplash, stainless-steel appliances, a substantial gas range, double-bowl undermount sink, and pendant lighting. A center island provides additional workspace, while a raised counter with bar seating offers a casual gathering spot.
