At the heart of the home, the expansive chef's kitchen delivers granite countertops, tile backsplash, stainless-steel appliances, and a generous pantry. The adjoining breakfast room opens to a heated enclosed porch with a vaulted wood ceiling, creating a warm, light-filled retreat for morning coffee, casual meals, or quiet evenings overlooking the backyard.
