The renovated windowed kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring a breakfast bar, Caesarstone counters, custom cabinetry, and top-tier appliances-Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking range, KitchenAid dishwasher-plus a water filtration system.

The thoughtful split-bedroom layout offers privacy and versatility. The first bedroom suite, with its own full bath and built-in shelving, is perfect for guests, a library, or a home office. Down a sunlit hallway, the second bedroom sits opposite a marble full bath, while the oversized primary suite offers room for a California king, generous closets, and a private en-suite bath. Two dedicated workstations make remote work effortless.

With six closets, hardwood floors, electric blinds, and through-wall A/C, every detail supports both comfort and style.
