The adjoining kitchen is a chef’s delight, featuring a batwing island with a composite sink, pristine stainless steel appliances, & under-cabinet lighting. Rounded drywall corners & nine-foot ceilings throughout both levels create a seamless flow, while a generous drop zone off the three-car garage keeps everyday clutter at bay.
