A gorgeous floor-to-ceiling fireplace is centered between the vaulted, wood-beamed ceiling, and the recently remodeled kitchen has been meticulously designed with modern details, featuring a Heath tile backsplash, stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops, sleek cabinetry, storage, and bar stool seating."
