The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with granite countertops, a beautiful natural stone backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and elegant gold hardware and faucet that give the space a fresh designer feel. The remodeled bathroom continues the home's blend of classic style and modern convenience. Ceramic tile flooring flows throughout the home, and an interior laundry area adds everyday functionality.
