Sunlight pours into the main living space, gleaming across hardwood floors that flow through to the dining area and kitchen. The inviting ambiance of the living room’s wood burning fireplace offers up a comfy place to spend a cool damp evening. Casual and comfortable, the light-filled spacious sunroom off of the dining area is a restful spot to curl up with a good book, gaze out at the water or settle in for a refreshing nap.
Featuring Wolf and SubZero appliances, the kitchen is outfitted for epicurean excursions. The design and function have been carefully considered to make entertaining a breeze. The wood burning fireplace in the adjacent cozy seating area provides an ideal setting for enjoying conversation over a good wine. The spacious dining area between the kitchen and living room is a wonderful place to make memories with family and friends over a great meal.
An elegantly appointed office on the main level is the perfect retreat for a remote work lifestyle. The restful main floor guest room overlooks the gardens and is adjacent to a well-appointed full bath. There are 2 upstairs suites each in its own wing for ultimate privacy. The graceful primary suite offers respite for the weary, with its wood-burning fireplace, stunning water views and walk-in closet.
