Automatic gates reveal verdant grounds, where a walkway of oversized flagstone slabs leads to the towering glass front entrance.Inside, the grand foyer sets a refined tone with Farrow & Ball hues, an Urban Electric fixture, and wide-plank white oak flooring. A hand-plastered feature wall by Nicolette Atelier, Chesneys limestone mantel, and custom reading nooks define the cathedral-ceilinged formal living room. The family room features accordion doors opening to a heated all-season porch with a double-sided gas fireplace.The dining room is flanked by Urban Electric sconces and framed by floor-to-ceiling gridded metal windows. Adjoining it, the butler’s pantry features a honed marble counter, antique mirror backsplash, hammered brass sink, and Sub-Zero wine storage. Nearby, the kitchen offers a commercial-grade appliance suite, custom inset cabinetry, Urban Electric lighting, a Shaw’s England farmhouse sink, thick-edge marble countertops, and Petite brass hardware—equal parts gathering space and culinary showpiece.The family entrance leads to a well-appointed mudroom with built-in lockers and a wallpapered powder room with a Waterworks mirror.Upstairs, the serene primary suite features automated blackout blinds, private backyard access, and a generous walk-in closet.
