Quality established, period...and TAX ABATEMENT pending!!! Professionally designed interior spaces & curated finishes. The soaring ceiling heights are filled with natural light. Hardwood floors in a slate grey finish that carry through the entire home. Wide open first floor offers formal living & dining space…flowing seamlessly into the gorgeous white-on-white kitchen with 4 top breakfast bar featuring Sparkling White quartz countertops, Gallery stainless steel appliances, & contrasting black commercial sink faucet & hardware. 42” upper cabinets & 2 lazy-susan base cabinets offer incredible storage & utility, in addition to a LARGE “built-in pantry” next to the oversized refrigerator that provides a tremendous addition to this already banging kitchen set up. Custom fabricated black steel railings run from basement to pilot house offering continuity & contrast to this light & bright home. Finished Basement with 8’ ceilings provides the perfect family / media room, recreation space (or 4th legal bedroom) providing terrific natural light & Half Bath…plus more incredible storage.
