A beautifully updated kitchen with glass tile, custom cabinetry, designer lighting, and a south-facing window that brings in ample natural light.
A cozy and light-filled second bedroom with hardwood floors and built-in desk, which opens out on to a lovely enclosed flagstone patio.
The charming bathroom has artisanal tile and a large claw foot tub.
