SUNNY DELIGHT

The gourmet, granite-topped kitchens offer stainless-steel appliances and Shaker-style cabinetry. Bathrooms are decked out in classic subway tile or marble. Also, since there’s plenty of closet space inside these stylish havens, you can indulge your inner big-spender and shop till you drop.
