Further you’ll find a modern kitchen with loads of white cabinetry for great storage, granite counter tops, tile backsplash, recessed lighting, breakfast bar and built in desk space. Off the back of the kitchen you’ll find a mudroom space that leads to the back deck that overlooks the level, deep lot (150' deep).
