Spanning approximately 4,160 square feet, with 4 large bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms plus 2 half baths, the interior is a masterclass in sophisticated living and design. The experience begins in the large two-story entrance hall, which sets the tone for the immediate feeling of exceptional living.

Sliders open to a private deck, inviting the outside in, while a stylishly appointed powder room completes this level’s thoughtful layout. The second living level is a triumph of scale and light, anchored by a spacious living room featuring a large bay window, custom-built-in cabinetry with a bar area and granite countertop. Entertainment flows naturally into the dining area, which is anchored by a beautifully built-in buffet. This leads directly into the chef’s kitchen—a true culinary domain. Designed for the serious epicurean, it features a massive island with seating, a 6-burner Viking gas stove, a separate GE electric oven, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a professional-grade KitchenAid dishwasher, and a built-in microwave. With more custom-built-ins, a large pantry, ample cabinetry, and a dedicated desk area, it’s as functional as it is beautiful. The seller’s husband is a passionate chef and uses every appliance and utensil that you see! Sliders open to a deck equipped with a gas grill. A spacious powder room and pantry leads to the huge Living Room area. Perfect for entertaining with large built-in. The third level is dedicated to luxury and rest, headlined by a primary suite that feels like a five-star retreat. It boasts a private sitting area, a built-in bookcase, more built- in cabinetry for storage, a dressing area, and a double-door walk-in closet. The redone primary bath is a spa-like sanctuary featuring double sinks, a glass-tiled walk-in shower, and clever built-ins. Across the hall, the second bedroom features custom built-ins, a large walk-in closet plus an additional ample closet and a private ensuite bath with a tile floor and tub/shower. For ultimate convenience, a full-size laundry area is also located on this floor with a great shelf to store all of your laundry needs.
