A dramatic tiled wall flanks the gas fireplace, complemented by built-in cabinetry and a sleek bar for entertaining. Every angle invites you to pause and take in the view. Engineered wood floors lead into an inviting kitchen with espresso cabinets and granite countertops. A suite of premium Dacor appliances, stainless vent hood, and patterned backsplash set the stage for cooking, while three pendant lights cast a welcoming glow. The dining area overlooks rolling hills, with a private balcony perfect for morning coffee or evening sunsets.
