The kitchen is top notch boasting cabinetry of O'Brien Harris, LLC. , high end appliances (including coffee bar) and finishes. Gleaming hardwood floors and custom woodwork. There are breathtaking and soothing views out of every window. The new addition includes an elegant first floor office and a sensational master suite with his and her vanity rooms, massive walk in closet, tub area and walk through shower.
