Guests are welcomed into a spectacular open foyer. Intricate carved moldings, dual window seats, carved columns, hardwood floors and 9-ft tray ceilings highlight the attention to detail this home offers. To the left of the entrance is the bright and inviting living room. French doors flanking an oversized wood burning fireplace lead out to the large covered patio. Off to the back of the foyer sits a wonderfully sized first floor office. On the right side of the foyer is the formal dining room. Another fireplace, and large chandelier highlight the space.
Behind the front rooms is the stunning eat-in kitchen, built for entertaining. With custom cabinets, granite countertops, Thermador & Sub-Zero appliances, the impressive room boasts a large island and a spacious eating area.
