Step through a rustic Dutch door into an entry foyer where reclaimed pine wood floors exude warmth and set the stage for the home’s remarkable flow. Tall ceilings throughout the main level create open and bright rooms that connect with the outdoors through large windows and multiple sets of French doors. A formal living room centers around a cozy fireplace and connects with a quaint front porch surrounded by lush landscaping. The adjacent formal dining room opens to a central courtyard that connects to the impressive rear grounds. A renovated chef’s kitchen is the heart of the home with stunning Calacatta marble and soapstone countertops, custom cabinetry, oversized center island, a full suite of professional-grade appliances, and a sunny breakfast room with views of the courtyard. Epitomizing open-concept living, the kitchen adjoins the family room that features a stone-clad fireplace and separate seating area. The first floor is completed by a 1,400-bottle climate-controlled wine room, designer-appointed powder room, and spacious laundry room. Upstairs, an appealing bedroom configuration awaits starting with a sumptuous primary suite complete with a fireplace, built-in cabinetry, renovated bathroom, expansive custom closet, and a balcony that draws in coastal breezes. Three additional bedroom suites and the art studio complete the second floor. Outside, professionally designed grounds exude charm and privacy and offer incredible entertaining amenities, including a renovated pool and spa with water features, gas fire pit, built-in BBQ and cooktop, wood-burning pizza oven, and separate chef’s pantry with built-in refrigerator. A 2-car garage with epoxy floors and built-in cabinetry completes this exemplary home.
