The rear of this floor is dedicated to a stunning open kitchen filled with sleek lacquer cabinetry, a massive center island and swaths of marble. The premium stainless steel appliances include a vented gas cooktop, Viking refrigerator, Bertazzoni wall oven, built-in microwave, dishwasher and wine refrigerator. A wall of windows opens to a large deck, perfect for al fresco dining. Below, the large landscaped yard includes integrated speakers, water and gas hookups.
The gorgeous powder room and coat closet add effortless ease here, while above, the upper floor of the 1,600-square-foot duplex features amazing natural light thanks to three large skylights. The serene master suite boasts a custom walk-in closet and a spa-inspired marble bathroom with radiant heat floors, a soaking tub, a frameless glass rain shower, wide double vanity and towel warmer. Two large secondary bedrooms share a second full bathroom, and a laundry closet on this level means no carrying clothes up and down stairs.
