At your feet, brand new light-stain 7" wood floors extend in every direction and create an airy and light ambiance of space and tranquility.

The appliance suite includes a Bertazzoni stainless steel gas range and oven, integrated Liebherr refrigerator and freezer with icemaker and double freezer drawer as well as two dishwasher drawers by Fisher & Paykel. There is even a dedicated microwave cabinet, coffee counter as well as a wraparound bar for casual meals or entertaining. The bar includes an undercounter stainless wine refrigerator by Marvel and additional cabinetry and storage for glassware. Ideally configured, the entertaining area separates the two bedrooms which sit on opposite ends of the home. A glorious king-sized primary suite occupies the western wing and is equipped with an array of customized closets including a walk-in. At the far corner, there is a perfectly secluded windowed office currently in use as a charming sitting room with built-in bookcases. The room can easily be outfitted for use as a more conventional work-from-home setup, nursery or additional walk-in closet, as per your needs. Rounding out the primary suite, the oversized designer en-suite primary bathroom is a spa-like experience, clad in striking black square tile with gold accents and adorned with a floating black lacquered Italian vanity with gold inlaid basin and matching mirror. The fixtures are all Duravit and include a hatbox toilet and deep soaking tub with rain shower and glass semi-enclosure. A dedicated linen closet provides additional storage for all of your toiletries.
