The beautifully renovated hall bath continues the luxury with handcrafted Moroccan Zellige tile, smart mirrors, a double cultured marble vanity, premium fixtures, and a smart bidet.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with new upper cabinetry, updated flooring, newer appliances, granite countertops, and a stunning waterfall Carrara marble island that serves as the centerpiece of the space. Additional improvements include a custom walk-in closet, updated basement recreation room, EV charging station, premium water softener and reverse osmosis filtration system, and a newer roof.
