Very spacious kitchen has double ovens and granite countertops, an amazing space to entertain or watch over your family with this floor plan. Gorgeous updated primary suite with new and fabulous primary bath, gas fireplace, and two walk-in closets. Three secondary bedrooms on the second floor and renovated full bath.
