The kitchen is a showstopper. Vaulted ceilings and skylights fill the space with natural light, while large windows bring the outdoors in.

There’s room to prep, serve, and entertain, with ample cabinet storage, a sleek double sink with modern faucet, and easy flow to the adjacent dining area.
Just off the kitchen, the dining room sits wrapped in windows overlooking the lush backyard—ideal for morning coffee or intimate dinners. A circular flow connects this space to a cozy sitting nook with wraparound views and deck access, all tied together by those same rich laminate floors that offer warmth and durability throughout the main level.
