Reimagined in 2024 with extensive updates throughout, this move-in-ready property is designed to accommodate today's lifestyle. Step inside to soaring cathedral ceilings, abundant natural light, and a spacious open layout perfect for everyday living and entertaining. The beautifully appointed kitchen features custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a center island, stainless steel appliances, and an inviting eating area that flows seamlessly into the main living spaces. The dramatic family room is anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace with a gas starter, while the adjacent dining area provides the perfect setting for gatherings.
