The chef's kitchen offers seamlessly refinished custom cabinetry, dual prep and serving islands, breakfast bar, walk-in pantry, matching Bosch commercial-grade appliances, and extraordinary Volga Blue granite countertops imported from Ukraine. The adjoining eating area opens to the concrete deck for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining. A main-level bedroom with full bath offers flexibility as a guest suite or office. Laundry rooms are located on both the main and second levels. The luxurious primary retreat features a private balcony, sitting room, oversized walk-in closet, and spa-inspired bath. Each secondary bedroom showcases unique architectural character with custom turreted and barrel-vaulted ceilings.

A huge bonus room provides exceptional flexibility as a game room or additional family room. The seamless walkout lower level opens directly to the private grounds and resort-like outdoor retreat. The expansive recreation room features imported Italian tile, marble-surround fireplace, custom wraparound wet bar, and full bath. A completely self-contained au pair or multigenerational suite includes a private living room with exterior access, second kitchen, bedroom, and full bath. Outdoor living is exceptional with a 40-foot heated, in-ground saltwater pool featuring a tanning ledge, automated hard safety cover, and fenced enclosure. 112 professionally planted arborvitae, many soaring to 18 feet, create remarkable privacy, complemented by mature cherry, fig, and mulberry trees. A covered patio houses a seven-person Jacuzzi spa. Additional highlights include a Brava composite shake roof installed in 2025 for exceptional longevity and a spacious 3-car garage.
