Complemented by new stainless steel appliances, this kitchen delivers both exceptional functionality and sophisticated design. A sparkling crystal raindrop chandelier adds a beautiful finishing touch above the island, while a new chandelier elevates the formal dining room. The beautifully renovated bathrooms offer contemporary comfort and upscale finishes. The primary bathroom features a smart electric toilet and a luxurious zero-threshold, curbless walk-in shower with frameless glass enclosure. The renovated common bathroom includes a bathtub, offering functionality and convenience. Renovated half bath in first floor.
