Glass doors open to the expansive composite deck, opening directly to the outdoor entertaining spaces. The chef’s kitchen is anchored by a massive waterfall-edge quartz island and equipped with a Viking six-burner range, wall oven, Viking refrigerator, wine fridge, custom cabinetry, and a spacious breakfast area. A walk-through butler’s pantry with coordinating quartz countertops connects the kitchen to the formal dining room, making entertaining effortless. The first-floor primary suite is a private retreat with tray ceilings, hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and direct deck access. Two custom walk-in closets provide exceptional storage, while the spa-inspired en suite bath features a double vanity, soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower, separate steam shower, and dedicated makeup vanity. Ten-foot ceilings, detailed millwork, designer lighting and a stylish powder room complete the main level. An illuminated staircase leads to the second floor, where four spacious bedrooms and three full bathrooms offer private accommodations. Two bedrooms include private en suite baths, while the remaining two share an elegant hall bathroom. Updated flooring, recessed lighting, and fine finishes continue throughout.
