From the moment you step inside, you'll notice what makes this home so special.

Beyond beautiful new cabinetry, the owners thoughtfully expanded the space by incorporating a custom coffee bar, pantry, beverage refrigerator, window seat, and additional storage, creating a kitchen that truly lives larger than its footprint. Just off the kitchen, the rear deck offers the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, grill dinner, or unwind with friends on warm evenings.
