Natural light shines onto the bench seating dinette area, illuminating the gorgeous kitchen finishes, such as granite countertops and stylish white cabinetry. Style meets function with upgrades that include under-mount lighting to highlight the subway tile backsplash, smudge-proof stainless-steel appliances, an ice maker, and a natural gas stove.
