The open-concept kitchen makes a bold statement. It features - brace yourself - bright red lacquered cabinets. While that style might not appeal to some, stainless steel appliances, granite counters and a center island with breakfast bar have a more traditional aesthetic. There is a skylight in the open stairway leading to the second floor where there are two bedrooms and a full bath. Each bedroom is large enough for any bed size, and the closets are generous in space. The modern bathroom features the always stately white subway tile.
