Gracious, light-flooded staircase with floor-to-ceiling windows leads you to the 2nd floor which includes a luxe primary suite with built-ins, walk-in closet and spa-like bathroom featuring hardwood floors, chrome Waterworks fixtures, antique sink sconces and fireplace. Two additional bedrooms and a timeless white marble bath complete this floor.

On the lower level you'll find a spacious recreation room, exercise room, wine cellar, full bath plus a large, fully-equipped laundry room. A 3-car detached garage and coach house provides ample space for visiting guests, in-laws or the like.
