A powder room is located just off the entrance and guests will be in awe of the opulent Mother of Pearl-lined walls, marble countertop and nickel faucet. Every detail throughout the residence has been thoughtfully curated, from the soaring ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and classic Art Deco moldings to the custom Evan Lewis-designed fireplaces. Designed for elegant entertaining, the sprawling floor plan features a spectacular lounge and bar with Lalique glass panels, granite countertops, a Herbeau polished nickel sink, Franke faucet, refrigerator, and ice maker. The formal dining room is equally impressive and highlighted by Venetian plaster ceilings and breathtaking open lakeshore views. The adjacent DeGuillio kitchen is a culinary showpiece featuring a custom marble sink, Subzero refrigerator with butternut wood doors, sliding backsplash doors revealing hidden spice storage, and exceptional custom detailing throughout. A fully equipped butler's pantry includes antique mirror inserts, a German silver sink, warming drawer, refrigerator drawers, dishwasher and 1-inch maple countertops. Wine enthusiasts will appreciate the 600-bottle EuroCave wine coolers. Nearby, a sunlit laundry room offers a full-sized washer/dryer, marble countertops, and cabinetry for storage. The private wing of the home has 3 generous bedrooms, including a grand, oversized primary suite with a Venetian plaster ceiling, two walk-in closets, and Roman shades. The primary bathroom hosts custom burl wood and onyx cabinets, a Seura bathroom mirror with TV, a spectacular stand-alone Kohler tub and limestone shower.
