Thoughtfully designed for everyday living and entertaining, the first floor includes a dedicated office, powder bath, laundry room and spacious primary suite. The heart of the home is the stunning open-concept kitchen featuring an oversized center island, natural gas cooktop with modern vent hood, abundant cabinetry and counter space, new backsplash and a large walk-in pantry.
