When you're ready to bring the party inside, you and your guests are welcomed through the side door or front doors. Open to the formal dining room and spacious living room, the gorgeous kitchen is truly the heart of the home. An expansive island with granite counters centers the room, ready for your weekly meal planning or holiday hosting. A beautiful apron sink overlooks the backyard, with a stunning blue accent backsplash, and a mini dry bar with beverage chiller is just inside the dining room. Keep conversations flowing as your guests lounge in the living room by the fireplace, while you put finishing touches on the dessert! A bright, private office with attached full bath resides off the living room, to keep your work day free of distractions.
