Expansive windows lead you throughout the home & provide one amazing view after another. The kitchen is designed in a highly efficient U-shape offering smart counter space, great storage, the luxury of stainless steel appliances, including a high-end and efficient German designed Liebherr refrigerator & nook for future updates. All non-wood areas offer Spanish tile flooring or Marmoleum (cork) floors, which keep rooms cooler during warmer days.
