This beautifully maintained home is bathed in natural light thanks to the 7 strategically placed skylights throughout. The heart of the home features a chef's kitchen with a Sub-Zero fridge and Bosch dishwasher with views to the garden from the sink and a convenient breakfast bar for meals on the run. The current homeowners say that this is the most functional kitchen they have ever had! The adjacent family room enjoys vaulted ceilings, skylights, a wet bar and a cozy gas lit fireplace. The spacious dining room accommodates a very large table with built-in cabinetry for buffet style serving. The living room serves as a space to enjoy quiet conversation or a cozy reading area by the second gas lit fireplace. Just down the hall you will find the brightly lit primary bedroom retreat with 3 closet spaces with professionally installed Elfa closet systems.
