The wide, open floor plan flows seamlessly into a custom chef's kitchen featuring bespoke cabinetry, a Viking range, Miele appliances, wine fridge, and an oversized center island perfect for entertaining. A wall of windows and French doors open to a generous terrace overlooking a lushly planted garden with irrigation and drip systemsideal for outdoor dining and relaxation. Upstairs, the sun-filled primary suite spans the full width of the home and features a decorative fireplace, separate dressing room, and spa-like en-suite bath with a deep soaking tub, oversized shower, and classic marble finishes. A spacious den with custom built-ins and a second fireplace offers a warm and flexible space for lounging or work. Also on this floor is one of two home offices. The top level includes two secondary bedrooms, each with ample closet space, two beautifully finished full baths, and the second dedicated home office. A large skylight floods the floor with natural light, highlighting the wide-plank oak floors that run throughout the triplex. Additional features include rooftop solar panels making for very low electric bills, central heat and AC with ten zones, recessed lighting, in-unit washer/dryer, and a ton of storage space in the cellar including a 492 bottle temperature-controlled wine room. Pets are considered on a case-by-case basis.
