The main living level is completely open-concept highlighted by pickled wood floors and is composed of a living area with gas fireplace and access to a wet bar/coffee station with ample cabinetry with wood countertop adorned in a chevron pattern, a dining area that seamlessly flows into the gourmet kitchen replete with marble countertops, working island with and abundance of storage cabinets, gas range and overhead exhaust and a peninsula that offers ample seating, the kitchen also boasts a generous appliance package, double sink and additional cabinetry, lovely pantry and a very convenient powder room.

Rounding out the second level is the generously proportioned primary bedroom suite with dramatic 12+ foot cathedral ceiling and access to a rear wood deck. The primary suite also encompasses a walk-in closet and full bath with oversized walk-in shower with frameless glass and double sinks with vintage marble countertop and a handy linen closet. The lower level of this home is totally unique and offers an area for a billiards room with wood burning fireplace and a rear glass paneled garage door that leads to a flagstone patio with access to the grounds.
