The entry level of the home offers the convenience of a powder room and a fully equipped chef's kitchen complete with custom cherry wood cabinetry, granite counter tops, high end appliances including a Viking range and refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and ample counter space. An eat in nook perfect for morning coffee completes the spacious kitchen.

The welcoming garden level is complete with further custom cherry cabinetry and flexibility for a separate guest suite or additional bedroom. This level also has direct access into the garden or to the front under the stoop.
