Step inside to warm hardwood floors, abundant natural light and an open, inviting flow where high vaulted ceilings and a contemporary stone fireplace give the living room a sense of scale and French doors extend the formal dining area onto an expansive elevated terrace. The updated kitchen is the heart of the home, offering custom cabinetry, striking granite counters, a generous center island, pull-out pantry, and high-end appliances, creating a chef-worthy space perfect for entertaining. The space opens naturally to a distinctive family room with a beamed ceiling, dramatic stone fireplace and custom built-in bar with dual-zone wine refrigerator and an informal dining area. A guest powder room adds to the convenience and ease of entertaining.
