The addition of a bay window elevates this living room to a whole new level. As natural light streams through the expansive window, it bathes the room in a warm and inviting glow, creating an atmosphere that is both serene and inviting. The built-in shelving and cabinets add a touch of refined grace, while the custom blinds offer privacy and style. The formal dining room, adorned with beautiful hardwood floors, provides the perfect ambiance for hosting gatherings and creating lasting memories.
