Hardwood flooring runs throughout the home, while all bathrooms feature ceramic tile. The spacious kitchen is designed for both entertaining and everyday living with gorgeous granite countertops, an island with additional cabinetry, peninsula bar seating, deep farmhouse sink with reverse osmosis filtration for healthy water, gas cooking, newer stainless steel appliances, and 42-inch cabinetry. The adjoining living room features a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace as its centerpiece. The main-level primary suite is a true retreat, entered through elegant French doors into a private sitting area and oversized bedroom with tray ceiling, walk-in closet with pocket door and safe, and a luxurious ensuite bath with double vanities and tiled walk-in shower.
