The updated kitchen features quartz countertops, natural wood cabinetry, a gas range, and an island with bar seating that adjoins an informal dining room. The spacious living room showcases vaulted ceilings and walls of windows that fill the home with natural light while framing breathtaking sky and water views, and opening to a 35 foot covered waterfront porch.
