The kitchen has been fully renovated with gorgeous new cabinetry, butcher-block countertops, a designated breakfast area, and additional countertop seating. A two-sided gas fireplace joins the breakfast area and family room, offering a picturesque flame from either space. The oversized, light-filled large primary suite opens on one side through double doors to a private patio, equally suited to morning coffee or afternoon entertaining. Beyond, the upgraded bath features a large double vanity with brushed-gold hardware and 5-centimeter Calcutta marble tops. New large-format floor tile complements a new shower with matching Kohler fittings and a private water closet. The walk-in closet with new hardwoods includes attic access for seasonal storage.
