The spacious living room feels warm and inviting, while the dining room comfortably accommodates everything from intimate dinners to larger gatherings. The renovated kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring Carrara marble countertops, crisp cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and timeless finishes that balance style and functionality.
