The Bay-outlook barrel-ceilinged living room features integrated speakers and woofer, drop-down entertainment screen, and a slate fireplace flanked by built-ins. The open kitchen, flush with curves, blends a convex butler’s pantry and an island echoing its contour. Professional-caliber appliances by Miele and Thermador include two full-sized dishwashers. Fanning out to a banqueted breakfast area, corner desk, and dining expanse, French doors offer outlook and access to deck and Thermador grill bar amid an exuberant landscape. The home’s eco-enhanced infrastructure includes rooftop solar, robust air-filtration and water-purification systems, and a generator-ready framework.
