The beautiful kitchen features rich cabinetry with crown detail, integrated Miele appliances, generous pantry and a large island topped with striking granite. The adjoining dining area is surrounded by tall windows and accommodates company while capturing lush views beyond.

The spacious primary accommodates a king-size bed and overlooks the trees, with custom walk-in closet and ensuite offering soaker tub, shower and discreet laundry with storage cabinetry. A privately positioned second bedroom/den and nearby 3-piece bath add versatility. The mudroom finishes off the main level.
