The grand foyer creates an opulent first impression along with a wide arched entrance leading to the entertaining rooms. Beamed ceilings and herringbone hardwood floors lend a graceful air to the generous living room.

The renovated eat-in kitchen impresses with Thermador stainless steel appliances, custom wood cabinetry, Nemo tile backsplash, and bespoke built-in banquette seating in the dining area. An adjacent bar nook could accommodate a washer and dryer, with board approval. The chic powder room with marble flooring and a custom vanity will delight your guests.

From the bedroom hall, the grand primary bedroom benefits from a walk-in closet as well as ample space for a sitting area, while the second bedroom contains two large closets and generous custom storage. Accessible from both bedrooms, the renovated marble bathroom constitutes a spa-like retreat. Throughout this welcoming home, through-wall air conditioners provide comfort and convenience.
