The kitchen is adorned with a large island, custom cabinets, stone countertops, a blue tile backsplash, and a suite of high-end appliances including a Sub-Zero fridge, dishwasher, gas stove with grill in the center, and large wine fridge. The bedroom has a private closet and easy access to an immaculate full bathroom with a linen closet, chic fixtures, and a pocket door that separates the sink area from the toilet and bathtub.
