With a total of 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and 2 half baths, this property offers a rare combination of elegance, privacy, and multi-functional living spaces across both the main residence and detached guest apartment.

Flowing seamlessly from the great room is a gourmet kitchen that is truly a chef’s dream—featuring 42-inch white cabinetry with crown molding, granite countertops, custom inlay tile backsplash, tiered quartz island with seating for 6, pendant lighting, walk-in pantry, and high-end stainless steel appliances including a Wi-Fi enabled French door wall oven, a second wall oven, refrigerator with chest and beverage drawer, 5-burner gas stove, updraft range hood, built-in microwave, and dishwasher.
