The custom built brick and stucco one-owner home exudes a classic elegance.

The difference is in the design and the details. The floor plan beautifully unfolds as your tour the home, featuring a first floor master suite. Graciously sized rooms are well suited for entertaining, while offering wonderfully intimate spaces. The detailing in every room is exquisite from the incredible nuHaus kitchen, to the custom cherry library by Exclusive Woodworking, to the family room with coffered ceiling and custom built-in granite wet bar with hidden rollout liquor cabinets. The high-end details and amenities are enriched by the intrinsic quality of construction.

The gourmet nuHaus kitchen blends efficiency and beauty.

The high-end appliances include a SubZero refrigerator, plus double refrigerator drawers in the island, Thermador six burner stove and griddle, Thermador double ovens and warming drawer, separate sinks with Phylrich & Grohe faucets, and two KitchenAid dishwashers.
