The kitchen features abundant new cabinetry and ample storage, while the bright, open dining room offers an inviting space for gatherings with family and friends.

Throughout the home, you’ll find fresh finishes, warm neutral colors, all-new flooring, and fresh paint. The living room is filled with natural light and provides comfortable living space.
