Enjoy the large front porch overlooking a koi pond as you listen to the waterfall and wind blow through the Japanese maples. Upon entering the carved front door with custom designed stained glass, you will be greeted with 10' ceilings, extensive wainscoting, crown molding, and arched entry. To your left, a warming fireplace awaits in a large sitting room. To your right, a large formal dining room to greet your guests as they hang their coats in the closet and pass through the butler's pantry to pick up a beverage before entering the enormous open chef's s kitchen boasting a SubZero refrigerator, new dishwasher, and Thermador oven and range that overlooks the breakfast bar, living room with gas fireplace, and breakfast nook with custom banquette seating. If you prefer to dine outdoors, the screened in porch off the nook offers seating for 4 and a natural gas connection. Powder room conveniently located off main hall.

Take the stairs all the way down to the newly remodeled ground-floor and be immediately stunned by the custom wine cellar boasting Riddling racks, a EuroCave, and plenty of wine storage. The adjacent zen-like bathroom features a large walk in shower, Japanese toilet seat, and mechanical room. Walk down the hall to the oversized transition room that can function as an exercise gym, hobby room, or mudroom, begging for a sliding door to the outdoors. Enter the theater room off the transition room and enjoy a private viewing experience on an 88" projector screen and a bonus area for playroom/poker room.
