The modern kitchen was renovated in 2006, featuring maple cabinets, Corian countertops, recessed lighting, central island with breakfast bar and a built-in bench for extra seating. The side door allows you to head outside for a night of entertaining or relaxing out on the patio. The gardens are filled with perennials, blueberry bushes and even an asparagus patch.
