From the moment you step inside, the home makes an impression-soaring 10-20 ft ceilings, walls of natural light, hardwood floors on both levels, beautiful millwork, custom built-ins and stunning carved sandstone fireplaces.

Custom Thompson cabinetry, an oversized granite island, Viking gas range, Sub-Zero refrigerator and walk-in pantry with Dacor wall oven create a true chef's kitchen, while the expansive butler's pantry with wine storage and U-Line refrigeration is ready for entertaining. (Many updates have been completed from 2022 forward-please see the Special Features document for additional details.)
