At the heart of the residence lies a truly show-stopping eat-in kitchen, outfitted for the most discerning chef. Sleek German Leicht cabinetry, heat and scratch resistant Dekton stone countertops and backsplash from Porcelanosa, and panel-ready appliances set the tone. A Viking gas cooktop with pop-up downdraft vent, Sub-Zero Wolf microwave and oven, and Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher ensure performance without compromising aesthetics. A dedicated bar area with a multi-zone wine fridge, along with island seating for three, make entertaining effortless. Smartly concealed storage fills every available corner, maximizing both form and function. A custom home office-bathed in sunlight through a large sash window-provides an ideal work-from-home retreat.
