The upgraded kitchen and bathroom showcase quality finishes, including a full-size gas range and oven, ample prep space, and a striking mixed inlaid glass backsplash that adds a dramatic designer touch. Laminate and tile flooring complement the coastal aesthetic, while Dutch doors at both the front and side entrances enhance the home’s timeless beach-town character.
