Inside, a grand foyer with a sweeping curved staircase sets the tone. Formal dining and living rooms are filled with natural light, while the chef's kitchen boasts top-of-the-line appliances including a Subzero refrigerator, wine fridge, and large prep island, along with a butler's pantry and breakfast nook that opens to a generous great room with fireplace.
