In the cooks kitchen, an unpolished granite countertop and stainless steel cabinets encase top-line appliances that include a Capital 5-burner range with integrated wok burner and convection oven, hot and cold filtered water, an Insinkerator Batch garbage disposal, and fridge and dishwasher by Sub-Zero and Miele. The second bathroom is lined in highly-polished steel penny tile and accented with a black Caesarstone countertop. Its stand-up shower offers a fold-down teak seat. The master bathroom, lined in Porcelanosa Kathmandu stone, features a deep soaking jacuzzi tub and Thermasol steam shower, integrated sound and video and a double-width slate vanity. The separate laundry room is outfitted with a Miele washer and dryer and moisture-proof steel shelving.

Every detail was carefully considered to create a customized home that maximizes both comfort and convenience. Nowhere is that more evident than in the master bathroom, whose centerpiece is a Kohler Numi toilet: a feat of technology and engineering that James Bond himself could not have imagined. Its motion-activated open and close mechanisms, self-cleaning and seat-warming capabilities, and integrated music player allow you to automate the heavy lifting.
