Begin the day with a steaming mug of coffee and a warm blueberry muffin whipped up in this dream kitchen, then enjoy culinary creations later in the evening with a favorite book or friends in the amply spaced dining room appointed with stunning pendant lighting.

The corridor leading to the master bedroom and luxurious bathroom has been redressed with custom built-in bookshelves for treasured books and mementos. At the end of the hall, tucked conveniently within a double-wide closet, is a self-ventilating Bosch washer and dryer.

The ceiling height lends dramatic elegance to this bath with luxurious finishes and thoughtful design.

A wall of additional tilt and turn Alpine windows adorned with Hunter Radiance light filtering shades greet entrants to the bedroom.
