Every corner of the space offers something to appreciate, from architectural details to the dramatic windows showcasing the surrounding scenery. The kitchen is both beautiful and functional, featuring custom no-voc maple cabinets with pull-out drawers and soft-close doors, designed for ease and convenience.
