An entertainer’s dream and ideal for family life, this floor’s options and versatility are endless. The sunny music room, with windows on every wall, is the perfect size to accommodate a grand piano.

The living/dining room features two bays of windows, more than enough space for a generous seating area and a dining table for six or more, flowing into another large living/family room with a convenient powder room.

The pièce de résistance is the dreamy, custom kitchen and breakfast room. A true chef’s delight and the hub of the home, oversized windows connect you to the outdoors and fill the space with breathtaking light.

The luxe appliance suite includes a Wolf dual-fuel 36” range (gas stove, electric oven), Miele XL plumbed combi convection steam oven, Sub-Zero fridge/freezer with ice and water dispenser, Bosch dishwasher, Sharp drawer microwave, and dual-zone Vinotemp wine fridge. Bonus features include an Insinkerator garbage disposal and Waterworks faucet/pot filler. The sunny breakfast room, perfect for casual dining, has huge windows and sliding glass doors leading to the beautiful backyard. A wall of floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry provides even more storage.

The second floor houses the spacious primary bedroom, easily accommodating a king-size bed and furnishings, with two custom walk-in closets and a stunning en-suite bath. Primary bath finishes include a Calacatta marble double vanity, Ralph Lauren mirror sconces, Calacatta marble tile in the windowed shower, Kohler hardware with double shower heads and rainfall feature, and custom built-in linen closets. This floor also includes two additional, well-sized bedrooms, a full bath with a Kohler cast-iron tub, and a convenient laundry room with full-size front-loading washer and dryer, built-in hanging rack, and wall-mounted, fold up ironing board.

The third floor has two additional spacious bedrooms and another full bath with a clawfoot tub.

The finished basement was fully excavated to increase ceiling height to 7'9", waterproofed, insulated, and outfitted with hurricane-proof, double-glazed windows that bring in beautiful natural light. This fantastic bonus space includes a cozy screening room, home gym, a bedroom with a built-in Murphy bed doubling as an office, a full bath with shower, a large storage closet with W/D hookup, and a full kitchenette/bar with paneled appliances, including a floor-to-ceiling Sub-Zero dual-zone wine fridge, Sub-Zero refrigerator drawers, Scotsman ice maker, Bosch dishwasher, and Insinkerator garbage disposal.

All new double-glazed windows throughout the home, full insulation, and a high-efficiency boiler make this home as energy-efficient as it is luxurious. Heating and cooling are managed by four zones of radiator heating and five zones of central AC. Yamaha built-in speakers are installed on the parlor floor and in the basement, with Bose outdoor speakers for the backyard.
