Wood floors and beautiful touches carry through the main level, while a wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room. At the center, the bright, remodeled kitchen pairs white cabinetry with black and gold finishes, quartz countertops, and a semi-open layout that keeps each space connected while still giving the rooms their own identity.
