The kitchen has quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, farmhouse sink, soft close cabinets and drawers, and a great backsplash. There is a formal dining room with floor to ceiling windows and room for a large dining table. You will also love spending time in the 4 season porch with amazing views of the lake.
