RESIDENCE OVERVIEW
The stylish foyer opens into a bright, open-plan living and dining area that creates a welcoming and sociable atmosphere. The modern kitchen features granite countertops and flows seamlessly into both the living spaces and the outdoor covered patio. Additional practical features include a convenient cloakroom on the ground floor, a dedicated laundry room, and a useful attic space for storage.
