The dining room can accommodate a small dinner to grand holiday gatherings with grace and style. Off the dining room, is the heart of this home. The kitchen; with its stainless Wolfe and Sub Zero appliances, rich custom cabinetry, stainless steel farm sink, and granite counters, provides a perfect environment to prepare everything from snacks to feasts.
