Upon entering, the sheer magnitude of this home is immediately evident as you gaze down upon the great room. The floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace, beautifully enveloped by a sandstone surround, commands attention. The dramatic wall of windows captures views of the living areas below, while the open-concept design showcases the grand vaulted ceilings, adorned with intricate treatments. The inspiring kitchen is a culinary masterpiece, complete with a walk-up island with seating, quartz countertops, ceiling-height site-finished cabinetry, and appliances from Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele, along with a walk-through pantry.
