The chef-inspired kitchen is a true showstopper, quartz counters w/glass subway tile to ceiling, stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, and soft close cabinetry. Original built-ins, intricate hardware, and a classic china cabinet add character. Outside, enjoy manicured landscaping, 2-car garage + parking slab w/power gate, and peace of mind with a home warranty. A true blend of craftsmanship and comfort!
