Travertine flooring flows throughout the common areas, complemented by newly installed luxury vinyl plank in the bedrooms. The expansive kitchen is designed for both function and style, featuring custom soft-close cabinetry, a professional-grade KitchenAid appliance suite, Sharp microwave drawer, a pro-style gas range and stunning Oceanside glass tile backsplash. Windows flanking the range bring in natural light, while a well-appointed island with a beverage fridge and prep sink enhances the space for entertaining.

The primary suite is a private retreat with designer drapery and wallpaper, solar shades and a newly renovated spa-inspired bathroom featuring a Kohler whirlpool tub, frameless glass shower and custom vanities. Two additional guest bedrooms and bathrooms have been completely transformed with new tile surrounds, high-end fixtures and designer finishes.  

No detail has been overlooked, with recent improvements including a whole-house generator, upgraded electrical panel, new insulation, new ceiling fans, a tankless water heater, and premium lighting and hardware throughout.
