The kitchen offers granite countertops, a newer dishwasher (2025) and refrigerator (2021), plus a charming eat-in breakfast nook overlooking the backyard through a Pella sliding glass door (2022). A convenient command center desk adds everyday functionality, while the adjoining mudroom features custom built-in shelving and a bench to keep everything organized as you come in from the attached garage.
