The kitchen was updated with espresso cabinetry, granite counters, stainless appliances, and a walk-in pantry. It opens directly into a stunning family room in the rear addition, with a coffered ceiling, walls of west-facing windows, and a gas fireplace. The second level has three spacious bedrooms, each with great closets, plus a connected, light-filled bonus room that works as a playroom, office, or den.
