A roaring wood-burning fireplace, quadruple Bromic heaters, and skylights enable al fresco lounging in all seasons. The kitchen is the heart of the home, with contemporary stacked white Cabico cabinetry complementing white Caeserstone quartz countertops, full-height tiled backsplash, and open shelving. A commercial-grade Wolf Range sits beneath a splendid custom hood, while a paneled SubZero full size refrigerator/freezer, dual Bosch dishwashers, an additional Wolf steam oven, and wine cooler complete the comprehensive appliance suite. The adjacent dining room is topped by a showstopping beamed, shiplap cathedral ceiling and features triple exposures, one of which directly accesses the screened porch. A large mudroom area with dog wash, full bath, walk-in pantry, and extensive custom lockers connects to the oversized, double-height garage. A private office off of the mudroom completes the main level. Ascending the illuminated staircase reveals a stunning primary suite. Automatic shades, a tray ceiling with cove lighting, and a generous dressing room with extensive built-ins further the luxury mission. Likewise, the stunning primary bath is clad in heated porcelain flooring, featuring the ubiquitous dual vanities, separate water closet, elegant freestanding tub, and walk-in steam shower. Three ample additional bedrooms each feature luxuries such as ensuite baths, walk-in closets, and automatic shades, while a large, convenient laundry room with integrated shelving completes the upper level.
