The beautifully renovated kitchen blends style and function with an electric cooktop, wall oven, built-in microwave, stainless steel refrigerator, white subway tile backsplash, custom cabinetry with convenient roll-out shelves and quartz countertops . The stainless steel island provides additional workspace and is perfect for cooking and entertaining. The island conveys with the home! The inviting dining room is a space you'll want to linger in while enjoying time with family and friends.
