The spacious living room with a gas fireplace connects seamlessly to the formal dining room and a fully updated kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, Quartzite countertops, and high-end BlueStar appliances—including a 36” dual fuel range with electric convection oven. In-floor heating adds warmth to key areas, including the kitchen and main-level family room, which overlooks the professionally landscaped backyard and new patio—perfect for indoor-outdoor living.
