Every detail has been thoughtfully designed with quality, craftsmanship, storage, and comfort in mind. The main level features gorgeous black walnut hardwood floors, custom built-ins, solid-core doors, insulated interior walls for sound control, hardwood shutters in several rooms, and a gas-start wood-burning fireplace finished with honed granite. The gourmet kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring custom cabinetry, a massive granite island with seating for six, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking range, two Miele dishwashers, built-in refrigerator drawers, and an enormous pantry designed to easily hold Costco-size pantry items, appliances, and kitchen gadgets. A butler’s pantry with wet bar and counters on both sides connects seamlessly to the dining room. The newly updated powder room adds convenience and style. The upper level also features black walnut hardwood floors throughout, with the exception of the enormous bonus room, which is finished with cork flooring and includes a brand-new attached bathroom and custom sauna with an audio/visual system. The spa-inspired primary suite features an all-natural-stone bath with a large walk-in shower, extra spacious jetted tub, and an expansive walk-in closet. All other Bathrooms are finished with natural stone tile, high-end Grohe faucets and hardware, and spa-quality finishes. The home was engineered for lasting quality, with a structurally engineered foundation, I-beams for an open lower-level layout, Rub-R-Wall foundation coating, 18 inches of gravel beneath the basement slab, dual sump pumps, radiant heat in the basement, garage, mudroom, and bonus room above the garage. The lower level with bamboo flooring throughout includes a large family room, music room, full bath, two large additional bedrooms, finished storage under the stairs, pocket-door closets, and an epoxy-floored workroom/storage room. Additional features include zoned climate control, central vacuum with convenient sweep inlets, smart lighting, whole-house audio, abundant Elfa customizable shelving, a large second-floor laundry room with additional main-level laundry connections, and Marvin double-hung tempered-glass windows fully serviced in 2025. Outdoor living is equally impressive. Enjoy beautiful landscaping with rolling blooms throughout the season and evergreens that provide privacy and year-round green views. The wraparound porch features Ipe Brazilian walnut decking and double French doors to the dining room. The patio includes a large granite fireplace with a limestone hearth, granite counters, built-in grill, and smoker.
