The kitchen is equipped with a large pantry, an Italian-made ILVE double-oven range with 6 burners and a griddle, a vented hood system, a pot filler faucet above the range, granite countertops, a coffee nook, multiple windows overlooking the backyard, and patio door access to the back covered deck. Adjacent to the front living area, there is also a sizable bonus room currently being utilized as an additional sleeping area. This room also has a bathroom with a fully tiled walk-in shower.
