Oversized windows frame open views and bathe the space in natural light throughout the day. The open chef's kitchen, designed by the acclaimed Pavarini Design, balances elegance and function. Appointed with quartz countertops, sleek custom cabinetry, and appliances by Bluestar, Thermador, and Bosch the kitchen is as stylish as it is efficient. Sleek custom cabinetry, thoughtful storage including a very large pantry, and sophisticated finishes make it a centerpiece of the home. The primary suite is serene and spacious, featuring abundant closet space, including a grand walk-in, custom cabinetry, and a luxurious ensuite designer Carrara marble bathroom, designer vanity, and marble walk-in shower. The second bedroom is equally spacious and offers versatility as a full-sized bedroom, home office, or den.
