Enter the foyer and enjoy elegant sightlines to both the formal living and dining rooms, along with a wide, graceful staircase. A crisp, modern color palette is balanced by rich wood flooring and deep moldings while natural light fills each room. The formal living room features a classic wood-burning fireplace and opens to a sun-drenched office/sunroom. French doors lead to the dramatic Great Room, where soaring ceilings and oversized windows frame views of the private backyard. The renovated kitchen blends function and flair with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, rich subway tile and high-end stainless-steel appliances. A breakfast bar and built-in banquette provide multiple dining options. Nearby, custom built-in cubbies enhance everyday convenience and organization.
