The entrance and front yard to the home, amidst beautiful landscaping, has a wonderful entertaining area.

Guests coming into the home will be welcomed by the dramatic 2-story tiled foyer with interesting architectural features accentuated by a beautiful wrought iron winding staircase connecting the home's 2 levels.

Off the entry, to your right is a library/study with gleaming bamboo floors, built-in bookcase, tall ceilings and a large transom window. To your left is the formal dining room with French Doors leading out to the front entertaining areas. The dining room has a wonderful wine closet with an intricate wrought iron "gate" which will be perfect to safeguard your valuable vintages. The formal dining room and the kitchen are connected by a granite counter butler's pantry which is complemented by glass display cabinetry and warm toned wood storage.

A powder bath is conveniently located just off the foyer for guests.

The great room is the perfect prelude to the home’s unique sense of style and warmth featuring luxurious carpet, marvelous fireplace,~18 foot ceiling boasting 2 ceiling fans with the entire west wall encased in windows, and a door leading out to the very large covered patio. At the apex of the great room's ceiling is a small balcony - but we'll get to that wonder in a moment when we go upstairs.

Opening into a kitchen suited for a king and queen, you will be immediately struck with the intelligent design of this space. Beautiful tile floors surround the very large center island with beautiful granite, a "prep" sink, loads of storage, and the breakfast bar can accommodate casual diners or family and friends joining in the culinary delights that will be emerging from your efforts. Granite is everywhere, the custom cabinetry is delightful and the counter space is endless. The numerous work areas will appeal to those wishing to congregate with the busy chef of the house. The appliance package in this kitchen is considerable! Wonderful stainless steel 5-burner gas stove, built-in stainless steel dishwasher in the center island and a charming "nook" for the microwave. Next to the refrigerator is a convenient granite topped coffee and tea station, perfect for the morning's beverages and handy to the refrigerator for the morning juice. At the west end of the kitchen is the very large and sunny casual dining area - plenty of room for a large table setting that has French Doors opening to a large covered patio area.

Just off the kitchen is the home's "in-law" arrangement. This area has its own “flex room” with an area large enough for any crafts or other endeavors you might want to explore. The very spacious bedroom has its own private bath with granite topped vanity and walk-in closet.

On the opposite side of the home is its masterpiece. The magnificent octagon designed master suite is adorned with recessed lighting in the raised box ceiling and it's own private entrance to the covered patio. This room can accommodate large furniture and still have plenty of space for a sitting area. Words can adequately describe this space - it truly must be seen to appreciate.

A large area, the master bath is sumptuous with an ample step-in shower featuring double bronzed shower heads and a convenient seating space, marvelous whirlpool tub and separate bath vanities with granite countertops including a knee space area.

There are 2 master closets on opposite sides of the master bath offering all the storage one will ever need for multi-seasonal clothing.

Ascending the beautiful staircase, the spacious landing leads to the other bedrooms (which each have their own private baths and walk-in closets), with an intersecting large living area (~28'x14') with a granite topped wet bar, temperature controlled wine cooler and display cabinets.

Going back to the home's second level landing, pause a moment and look down at the massive foyer - wouldn't a baby grand piano be perfect in this spot.

This could all be yours.
