Pendant lighting adds a touch of elegance, while floor-to-ceiling white cabinetry with polished nickel hardware provides ample storage. The kitchen boasts a suite of Fisher & Paykel stainless steel appliances, including a 48” 6-burner gas range oven with a griddle and pot filler. Sliding glass doors off the kitchen lead to a private deck and landscaped backyard, perfect for indoor-outdoor living.
