The interior floorplan sets the kitchen as the center of the home, the hub. Fully equipped with Dacor and Sub Zero appliances, and thoughtfully designed cabinetry inspired by ship interiors the layout is extremely functional with two islands, one which seats eight comfortably. The kitchen is open to the Family Room with its arched, cathedral ceiling and Library balcony above. The family room is centered around a floor to ceiling wood burning fireplace crafted from natural stone. To the east is the circular, cone roof Dining Room, and large Screened Porch with a second stone fireplace and outdoor kitchen. The second floor bedrooms, Playroom and large laundry room are on the west wing, above the 4-car garage. There are two choices for Master Bedrooms; one sits at the center of the hub on the third floor and has the form of a large observation tower, with panoramic views of the surrounding forest and ocean in the distance. A second option is on the east side of the second floor, with panoramic vistas and a third stone fireplace. Additional features include a finished basement, half soccer field that lights up at night like Fenway Park, exercise room, an office with two built-in work stations, a second laundry room on the first floor, large pantry with sink and warming drawer, and an outdoor fire pit. An architectural masterpiece.
