Gorgeous hardwood floors and custom specialty millwork abound including crisp crown moulding, tall baseboards, column framed cased openings and distinguishing ceiling treatments. A casual elegance is achieved in this home's design plan through the use of high end fixtures and finishes all while remaining true to the coastalcottage feel with elements such as clean lines, a crisp neutral color scheme and perfectly placed rustic accents. The living area is spacious and features a focal point gas log fireplace with stone surround and custom mantle. With more than enough room to accommodate a large group, invite everyone over to watch the big game or gather around a roaring fire for family game night. The living area is open and flows seamlessly into the kitchen. The most discerning home chef will delight in the ultra stylish, yet timeless finishes found in the true gourmet kitchen. White, recessed panel shaker style custom cabinetry contrasts beautifully with the rich tones of the hardwood floors. Stunning quartz countertops and sleek, upgraded professional style stainless steel appliances including a six burner dual fuel range and custom vent hood provide a modern edge while classic appointments such as the apron front farmhouse sink and subway tiled backsplash give a touch of old world charm. A walk-in pantry and beam-styled ceiling treatments are a nod to both the functional and beautiful details found throughout.
