A first-floor dual office provides versatility, while the chef's kitchen, outfitted with top-of-the-line Thermador appliances, is a dream for culinary enthusiasts. No detail has been overlooked in this exceptional reimagined home, featuring custom cabinetry, coffered ceilings, Brussel block driveway, a 50-year architectural shingle roof, updated windows, and a state-of-the-art Control4 audio system. The third-floor theatre room provides the ultimate cinematic experience, while a music room/office above the garage offers a peaceful retreat.
