Bedroom suites both on the main floor and upstairs offers substantial flexibility. The spacious kitchen offers generous counter space and ample storage space featuring oversized upper cabinets, pullout drawers in lower cabinets, and large high-quality appliances. The adjoining kitchen and dining areas are finished with premium granite countertops and durable porcelain tile flooring.
