A grand foyer welcomes you with a sweeping staircase and statement chandelier, accompanied by an elegant formal living room with illuminated custom built-ins and a formal dining room designed to comfortably seat twelve guests. At the heart of the home is a truly remarkable chef's kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, a Carrara marble island, Black soapstone countertops, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf 48-inch range and microwave, built-in Miele coffee station, two Miele dishwashers, dual beverage refrigerators, a walk-in pantry with butler's sink, and a hidden office discreetly tucked behind custom cabinetry.
