Granite countertops, a stone backsplash, a Solatube skylight, recessed lighting, a large center island with bar seating, and a separate prep area with veggie sink and wooden countertop complete the space. A sunny breakfast area opens directly to the screened porch, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

Formal living spaces include a dining room with tray ceiling, crown molding, French door entry, and wainscoting, along with a cozy family room featuring a stone-surround fireplace, tray ceiling, and recessed lighting.
