Rich hardwood floors, designer lighting, and curated finishes create a warm yet sophisticated aesthetic, while the seamless flow between living spaces is perfectly suited for both elevated entertaining and everyday living.The elegant living room is anchored by a gas fireplace and flows seamlessly into the dining room and chef's kitchen--the true heart of the home. Designed to the highest standard, the kitchen features custom cabinetry, a statement waterfall island, and premium appliances including a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele coffee system, and Bosch dishwasher.
