The kitchen opens seamlessly to the spacious living area, where soaring ceilings, a coffered ceiling with cove lighting, custom built-ins, recessed can lighting, and a sleek linear fireplace create a warm yet elegant setting for everyday living and entertaining. The first-floor owner’s suite is a true retreat and one of the home’s standout features, complete with its own linear fireplace, a tray ceiling with cove lighting, an oversized custom walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath with double vanities, framed mirrors, a freestanding soaking tub, and a frameless walk-in tile shower. Secondary bathrooms are equally well-appointed with quality finishes.
