The 2,190+/-sqft above grade includes a dedicated hot tub room, sauna, Florida room, attached greenhouse room, living room area with exposed beams and a beautiful modern kitchen. In addition there is a 350+sqft partially finished basement which has a full bar with faux stained glass lighting and nearby exercise and laundry rooms. The kitchen has matching black appliances, a 2 tiered island, granite counter tops, and spills into the vaulted family room with access to the wrap around deck.
