The show-stopping chef's kitchen is the heart of the home, anchored by a large center island, custom cabinetry, and premium appliances including a Wolf range,pot filler, custom vent hood, wet bar with beverage fridge and ice maker, and a spacious walk-in pantry. A tiled backsplash and designer lighting elevate the space. Adjacent to the kitchen is a stylish dining area with built-in cabinetry.

Additional thoughtful touches on the main level include a mudroom with custom storage area and a powder bath beneath the staircase with lovely handcarved sink and designer wallpaper.
