The gourmet kitchen, appointed with custom cherry cabinetry and an impressive oversized island, offers the perfect gathering place for casual dining, entertaining, or additional workspace. A spacious butler’s pantry adds both convenience and elegance. Thoughtfully designed spaces continue throughout, including a charming, window-enclosed octagonal den with flagstone flooring and views of shaded stone pathways, as well as a private lower-level office featuring a bookcase-flanked window seat and a beautiful two-sided fireplace. A generous mudroom with custom built-in cubbies and a second laundry area seamlessly blends practicality with thoughtful design. Every room and finish reflects the exceptional craftsmanship, attention to detail, and care invested in this extraordinary home.
