Toward the back of the home, you’ll find the fully equipped kitchen, stocked with all the essentials for cooking at home. The adjoining dining area offers seating for four, with two additional seats at the bar—perfect for shared meals or casual conversations. A half bath and laundry room are conveniently located on the main floor.
