The chef’s kitchen is finished with granite counters, custom built-in cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances, while the bright dining area opens directly to the rear patio for relaxed entertaining. A generous primary suite includes a large walk-in closet, a spa-inspired ensuite with heated floors, and extra storage. Downstairs, a completely redone one-bedroom, one-bath in-law suite adds flexibility with a separate entry and its own laundry. Outside, a fully fenced, south-facing setting provides private yards for both suites—ideal for kids and pets—plus walkable access to Beacon Hill Park, Dallas Road, and nearby amenities.
