Flowingfrom this stunning room are the kitchen and breakfast/sitting area, so great for keeping the cookcompany informally any time of day. The kitchen was completely renovated by the current owners toshowcase top appliances (Thermador oven and Miele speed oven), beautiful custom cabinetry, acoffee bar, and new backsplash and lighting, while maintaining the generous pantry convenientlynear the entry from the garage and laundry. (Note the extra height of garage doors and ceiling, one ofthose thoughtful touches.) On the other side of the kitchen is a room, accented with grass wallpaper, that can be a formal dining room, a spacious office or studio/project/playroom. Note too thepolished oak floors, redone in a darker hue, that unite the entire design, and the custom lightingthroughout the main floor. Completing the main floor, the hallway offers an elegantly remodeledpowder room and from there the luxurious master bedroom, now so coveted for privacy. It features acurved wall with plantation-shuttered windows, tray ceiling and molding lighting, plus a large walk-incloset and a glamorous bath with separate shower, Jacuzzi and personal cabinet.
