A covered front porch anchors the arrival, its porch swing perfectly placed to greet the morning sun. The facade sits comfortably within the neighborhood streetscape.

Thermador appliances integrate seamlessly into the millwork, a farmhouse sink adds a touch of classic utility, and above the range, a hand-troweled plaster hood adds a layer of artisanal craft that distinguishes the space. A generously proportioned dining area flows naturally from
