reappears on DR wall and offers balance across front, while full wall provides option for hutch. DR is
completely open to renovated kitchen thanks to new, open concept floorplan. Cream Birch cabinets
with soft close doors are paired with extra-large ceramic tile floor, while high-grade granite countertops
are fused with gray subway tile backsplash. SS appliances including 5-burner stove are crowning accent!

seating or as a standalone. Door leads to backyard. Hall leads past built-in oak shelves and PR to 1 st -floor
