Thoughtfully redesigned for today's family, the first floor features exceptional living and entertaining spaces. The stunning kitchen (2022) is the heart of the home, showcasing custom cabinetry with built-in organization and drawer inserts, a La Cornue range, Ann Sacks tile, and an oversized island with quartzite counters and plenty of seating. A built-in dining banquette creates the perfect spot for morning coffee, homework, or casual family meals.
