Wrapped in windows and professionally remodeled, the kitchen enhances meal prep with quartz countertops, sleek custom cabinetry, a long peninsula bar and a French door leading to the pool. Stainless steel appliances include a built-in French-door refrigerator and five-burner cooktop with hood above. Two bathrooms display large-format polished-stone floor tile and shower surrounds, floating vanities and, in the primary suite, two sinks.
