A welcoming covered stone porch opens to a dramatic foyer with a soaring vaulted ceiling. Natural light pours through a grand Palladian window into the gracious great room, where a fireplace framed by custom built-ins creates a warm and inviting focal point. Entertain in the formal dining room or gather in the gourmet kitchen with custom cabinetry, center island with second prep sink, wine cooler and Sub-Zero regrigerator. The main-level primary suite offers a private retreat with a generous walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath with jetted tub, dual sinks and walk-in shower that invites pure relaxation.
