No need for curtains, drapes or blinds here, as these windows showcase your own private forest! The spacious kitchen hosts an abundance of Shaker-style walnut cabinetry flanked by two pantries & graced with stainless steel appliances, Olympic River granite countertops, onyx backsplash, & undercounter composite granite double sink, oil-rubbed bronze fixtures plus an island crowned with Minnesota red pine. From the great room you can withdraw into the Master which features an ensuite bath accentuated with hand-made cabinetry, a slate shower & stained-glass window.
