The beautifully outfitted gourmet kitchen with elegant custom cabinetry; striking granite counters; uniquely clever storage capacities; and island table seating is a pleasure to behold. A wonderfully effective & appealing addition to this epicurean's hub is the direct access to an expansive butler's pantry, wetbar & laundry/mudroom center that would rival many primary kitchens, with a dual glass door access to the rear deck. A private 1st floor en-suite bedroom, with the practicality of a double sized shower with grab-bars, speaks to the detail & care undertaken in the enhancements of the home. The master suite with hexagonal reading nook, barrel vaulted window accent, uniquely sized walk-in closet & sumptuous en-suite bath with a true soaking tub, is just one of the upstairs' suite-like room arrangements.
