It was rebuilt with all new plumbing, electrical, mechanicals and custom millwork. Other details include hardwood floors, a CT brownstone fireplace, a custom mural in the dining room, a great room with a large fireplace and an eat-in kitchen with a beverage station, Viking, Miele and Subzero appliances and a walk-in pantry. The second floor of the home which is accessible by a central stairway or elevator, includes a primary suite and two secondary bedrooms, all with ensuite baths. Located off the central hallway is a laundry room/pantry, making laundry convenient from the second floor.
