The main level boasts an open-concept floor plan, ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. The spacious living room features a cozy fireplace, perfect for relaxing evenings with loved ones. French doors lead to a charming covered sitting area, where stately columns gracefully frame the space, perfect for your morning coffee. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's delight, with custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, and two large center islands that serves as the focal point for gatherings.
