Designed for the serious cook and entertainer alike, the kitchen features a Viking 6-burner range with double ovens, Miele coffee station, two full-panel Sub-Zero fridge/freezers, two Bosch dishwashers, an expansive Calacatta Gold marble island, and a custom butcher block. The sunlit breakfast room-with soaring ceilings, a custom banquette, and floor-to-ceiling windows anchors this space with warmth and style.

A mudroom with additional half bath, oversized coat closet, first-floor laundry, and attached three-car garage ensure day-to-day ease.

The third floor features an additional bedroom and full bath-perfect for guests, an au pair, or a home office. The lower level is a destination in itself: home theater, fitness room, wine room, craft area, full guest suite, and an expansive recreation space with fireplace. Outdoors, the resort-style backyard is truly exceptional. The custom, oversized pool and spa features a sun shelf, bubblers, deck jets, and an electronic cover for safety and convenience. A louvered, electronic pergola creates a true outdoor room, complete with a fireplace-ideal for cozy evenings and entertaining. The professionally landscaped yard was fully reimagined by the current owners, creating a beautiful retreat. Throughout the home, thoughtful designer touches elevate every room, including high-end wallcoverings, custom window treatments, curated lighting, and beautifully finished millwork. Every inch has been carefully designed to blend timeless elegance with modern comfort.
