At the heart of the home, a spiral staircase is centered around a 50-foot cherry tree trunk, w/a banister made of green vine, bent into place & secured by hand-forged fasteners. The great room is a sanctuary under the soaring ceilings, stained glass accents & dramatic, marble fireplace. Gorgeous, oak floors throughout including the EIK w/custom cherry cabinets, & concrete countertops. Upstairs, the primary suite boasts massive windows, a stone-surround walk-in shower, dual vanities & spacious walk-in closet.
