The kitchen has a bar, island, counterspace, gas cooktop, double ovens, below counter microwave as well as well designed cabinets. The first floor is complete with a pantry area and first floor full bath. Stairs in the rear of the house lead to a large basement perfect for storage and many hobby activities.
