The gourmet kitchen dazzles with quartz counters, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances (incl. dishwasher), new illuminated faucet, butcher-block coffee station, and under-island mini-fridge nook. Accordion doors reveal dual pantries with fridge hookups. Relax in the sun-drenched living room with herringbone floors, classic wainscoting, new chandeliers, and recently installed windows. The spa-like bath boasts a rain shower, jet tub, tiled surround, new toilet, and bidet-ready electrical. The primary bedroom features a tray ceiling, cedar closet, and tons of storage—including extra across the hall. Pet-friendly with a huge backyard and large parking lot. Park right next to your entry door with a small balcony area for outdoor grill or chairs.
