The chef's kitchen is outfitted with stainless Thermador appliances. The main level is designed for single-level living with an elegant formal office, large laundry room, and private primary suite. The suite opens to a walkout deck, pre-wired for a hot tub or outdoor shower. All bathrooms feature custom tile, granite surfaces, in-floor radiant heat, & motion-activated lighting. Upstairs, wrought iron railings with custom birch and maple leaf motifs lead to 2 guest BRs w a shared bath, and a second primary suite featuring a soaking tub and W/D hookups. The lower level includes a walk-in safe, full wine fridge, & abundant storage. Sliding doors from the main living area open to a large southeast-facing deck w private back yard and fire pit.
