The positioning of the front foyer allows an unobstructed view of the main floor living space. The custom 5-inch-wide hardwood floors with board lengths up to 12 feet long and thoughtfully designed lighting plan are consistent throughout the home. Ceiling height is 10 feet with no bulkheads. The gallery walls provide an ideal backdrop for showcasing art. The Great Room is anchored by a striking marble feature wall surrounding the gas fireplace, adding to the relaxed ambiance. The dining room offers ample seating and seamlessly flows into the open concept kitchen. Natural light pours in through the floor to ceiling windows that span the entire back wall of the home.
Every inch of the kitchen is meticulously planned, featuring Bellini Custom Cabinetry with countertops clad in natural quartz and a durable cold rolled steel surround. The expansive center island spans over 10 feet and includes breakfast bar seating. Extending the kitchen’s functionality is a butler’s pantry with dual wine fridges and a second dishwasher, ideal for additional storage or for prep space when entertaining.
The main floor primary suite is exceptionally appealing, with extensive custom cabinetry and a generous walk-in closet that is pure luxury. The 5-piece ensuite bathroom offers a perfect retreat featuring natural stone throughout that caresses the space. Highlights include a soaker bathtub, a curb less shower and separate makeup vanity. Floor to ceiling windows fitted strategically with privacy screening offer ultimate privacy. The backyard can also be accessed directly from the bedroom.

Built-in storage cabinets ensure clutter remains out of sight. The heated double garage features a wipe clean epoxy floor with a garage organization system.
The lower level is thoughtfully designed for families. The kids' quarters offer ultimate privacy, featuring two spacious bedrooms separated from the family room by a sliding barn door.

Currently it is divided into a games room and lounge area. This room also includes ample built-in cabinetry, a linear fireplace and wet bar area, making casual entertaining easy.
A bonus room between the family room and the mechanical room has been transformed into a home gym.
