A formal entry welcomes you in and invites you to pause. Your eyes are drawn to the handcrafted herringbone brick fireplace framed by glass sidelights. You immediately experience the difference in the details — rich inlaid hardwood floors, architectural corbels, solid wood doors, classic moldings, and spectacular fireplaces reflect enduring quality. The expansive chef’s kitchen blends modern luxury with vintage charm, appointed with custom-built sage soft-close cabinetry, gleaming carrera quartz countertops, beveled subway tile backsplash, new stainless dishwasher and French-door refrigerator, and an abundance of storage. The coveted butler’s pantry—ideal for entertaining—includes a wine and champagne refrigerator, open wood shelving, prep sink, and designer fixtures make this space unforgettable.

A charming backyard gazebo is a sweet spot to use your imagination: Sunrise yoga stretches, an artist's atelier, a play space, poker, whiskey & cigars, afternoon tea, or a hammock, a good book and afternoon naps. Resting on an expansive 9,000+ sq ft corner lot, the home is framed by elegant wrought-iron fencing and an arched entry gate. The oversized garage includes a separate room—perfect as a home office or creative studio. A thoughtfully placed utility/mudroom with laundry hookups off of the kitchen enhances everyday convenience.
