Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining nook—currently styled as a cozy seating area—features an electric double-sided fireplace with a stone tile mantel, adding both warmth and ambiance. A wet bar with a beverage cooler and ice machine ensures effortless entertaining, while a built-in wooden dining nook provides a charming, personal touch.
