Abundant natural light pours through the home, enhanced by a skylight that brings in even more sunshine. The kitchen is a true showstopper, featuring luxurious marble countertops and a matching marble backsplash, rich wood cabinetry, and premium Rohl fixtures. A dual fuel range and dual dishwasher make this kitchen as functional as it is beautiful, while an instant hot water and a tankless water heater with recirculation makes stepping into the shower an instant warmth, features that add to everyday convenience.
