The remodeled gourmet, eat-in kitchen ties in beautifully with the home's aesthetic and features olive-colored granite countertops, Shaker-style cabinetry, Terracotta tile, recessed lighting, and a Range niche with butcher block counter accents. Off the kitchen provides a dedicated laundry room with plenty of storage and is equipped with the original hideaway, fold-down ironing board. Additional features and upgrades include a bolted and braced foundation, copper piping, new electrical panel, new HVAC and ducting, plumbing upgrades, original hardware and a full front and rear low volume water saving irrigation system.
