Ft. including a 106-bottle wine refrigerator, plus two paneled dishwashers. Custom inset cabinetry with walnut drawers and ambient lighting that extend into a fully equipped Butler’s Pantry with Elkay water dispenser, ideal for entertaining.

Visual Comfort lighting is featured throughout the home. Architectural Digest named the company “one of the best sources for great lighting…allowing optimal ambiance at any time of day.”

The primary bathroom includes a two person curbless marble steam shower with linear Steamhead and Kohler Anthem thermostatic shower valves, radiant marble floors, heated towel bar, 70 gallon Hydrosystems solid surface tub with high flow Kallista filler, and inset rift white oak cabinets. Secondary bathrooms feature inset cabinets, marble floors, illuminated mirrors, one piece skirted Kohler toilets, and Anthem valves.

The lower level provides a large recreation space with full-height windows, almost ten-foot high ceilings, a wet bar, and built-in surround sound with 85 inch Samsung TV, Denon amplifier and Martin Logan subwoofer. Outdoor spaces include a welcoming front porch, a screened rear porch with skylights and fan, covered areaway with prewiring for hot tub, and a pool-ready backyard enclosed by a cedar fence.

Exterior materials include Hardiplank siding, natural stone, and hand-applied stucco. Inside, white oak flooring, Sherwin Williams Emerald low-VOC paint, almost two-inch thick solid core doors with Emtek hardware, and a solid mahogany front door with Emtek mortise lock enhance the home’s overall aesthetic and quality.
