The main living area includes an open floor plan with lots of natural light and nine-foot ceilings. The recently updated, gourmet kitchen has quartz countertops with elegant, waterfall edges, high-end Monogram appliances, and a Calcutta Gold marble backsplash. Low-voltage cabinet and Hue smart lighting illuminate the room.
