The kitchen features custom white cabinetry, backsplash, granite countertops, kitchen island with 5-burner gas cooktop, double wall ovens and walk-in pantry. Oversized sliding glass doors lead you into a sitting area just off of the main living space, with vaulted ceilings, views of the pastures & arena, & a Heritage, high-efficiency wood-burning stove for chilly winter nights.
