This cook's paradise features gorgeous gray cabinetry accented by marble tile backsplashes, quartz counters and chic hardware surrounding stainless steel appliances, including a gas range and dishwasher.

Three roomy closets plus 2 built in wardrobes in the bedroom ensure storage will never be a concern in this lovely uptown haven.
