The updated kitchen strikes a perfect balance between old and new, featuring a midcentury farmhouse sink, vintage hardware, a new stainless steel refrigerator, as well as a dishwasher, and garbage disposal. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom is a true retreat, comfortably accommodating a California King-sized bed with ample closet space and a stunning view of the pond beyond. The second bedroom offers two more closets as well as an adjoining bonus storage space. On the main level, you will find a bright third bedroom along with a versatile second room that works beautifully as a home office, fitness space, or art studio.
