Wide-plank hardwood floors flow throughout the main level, where an open-concept layout creates effortless sightlines from the living room to the dining area and kitchen. A marble-tiled fireplace anchors the living space, while oversized windows, a sliding glass door, and a dramatic skylight flood the home with sunlight throughout the day. Designed for both entertaining and daily living, the kitchen features two-tone shaker cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, a striking granite waterfall island, premium stainless steel appliances, and an eat-in dining area overlooking the backyard.
