The renovated kitchen is a chef’s dream featuring an oversized island, double thick quartz counters, SubZero fridge, Miele dishwasher, 6-burner Thermador stovetop, separate bar area and an eat-in-kitchen. The elegant formal dining room’s natural woodwork was beautifully restored. The two-tiered deck is easily accessible from the kitchen featuring a built-in gas grill overlooking the lushly landscaped yard with mature plantings.
