Inside, the foyer continues the brick flooring and opens to a bright, inviting floor plan. A separate dining room provides plenty of room for hosting memorable gatherings, while the open layout connects the kitchen and spacious family room. The stunning kitchen is designed to impress, featuring a large center island, leathered granite countertops, and a walk-in pantry with built-in shelving. Premium Viking appliances include a gas range, double ovens, built-in microwave, stainless steel refrigerator, & warming drawer.
