Stepping inside, the main living areas have an open concept floor plan. Sliding doors create an indoor/outdoor living experience, which is perfect for taking advantage of the warm Texas weather. In the kitchen, white cabinets are paired with a large island that features a wood counter. Beside the kitchen is a wood accent wall that’s home to the television and floating cabinet.
