The kitchen is equally impressive with granite countertops, a center island with breakfast bar, 42-inch cabinetry, undermount lighting, slide-out shelving, pantry, touchless faucet, stainless steel appliances, upgraded gas range with grill and a wine refrigerator. A separate sitting room overlooks the fenced backyard and opens through 6-foot sliders with built-in blinds to a paver patio with privacy screen. The included gas grill is already plumbed directly to natural gas, making outdoor entertaining easy. Upstairs, new carpeting continues through the loft and two additional bedrooms, along with a full guest bath featuring a deep soaking tub. The finished basement adds exceptional versatility with a kitchenette featuring quartz countertops, tile backsplash, new LVP flooring, second pantry and eat-in area. A spacious recreation room includes a bump-out for additional play or flex space, while a separate office and workout area, two storage rooms and workshop space provide even more functionality.
