Upon entering, you’ll be enchanted by the home’s original charm, seamlessly modernized with thoughtful updates. The foyer doubles as a mudroom, with floor-to-ceiling double sliding doors that can close off the space. You’ll also find a large coat closet, a discreet powder room, as well as a concealable, custom-built home office with floor-to-ceiling multi-slide doors. With its soaring 11-foot ceilings, the main living area has a loft-like quality with an open floor plan connecting living room, dining room, and kitchen, centered by an elegant fireplace. The kitchen features a Miele appliance suite, electric blinds, heated flooring, and a floor-to-ceiling folding glass wall that opens to the terrace, making al fresco dining effortless. Another unique twist is the skylight that doubles as the glass-block floor for the terrace above. This exceptional home also features modern comfort with a multi-zone temperature control system and a security camera system, along with an integrated Sonos sound system for high-quality audio throughout."
