This dreamy chef’s kitchen highlights the latest in Thermador appliances. Custom white painted cabinets that match the paneled refrigerator and freezer create a bright atmosphere. This open layout kitchen is well-equipped for entertaining with a walk-up wine bar complete with Sub Zero wine cooler.

An open corner niche in the kitchen is perfect for making drinks and displaying glassware and select bottles.

Rift white oak upper cabinets, counter to ceiling Calacatta Quartz backsplash and countertops all create a luxury look for this kitchen. The Orijin Stone limestone is mirrored in the kitchen area as an accent wall, adding gray tones and texture.

Off the kitchen and dining area, a large screen porch with a fireplace is the perfect spot to relax and unwind. The windows of this porch are unique as they consist of tempered glass that can slide open from the middle, dropping in screens to bring in the fresh air.

“Naptime” doors separate three generous bedrooms (including the owner’s suite and laundry room) from the rest of the main level allowing for privacy and sound control.

The owner’s suite showcases a stunning grand chandelier from Restoration Hardware and more scenic views of the park reserve through large windows. The headboard wall is dressed with a gorgeous neutral wallcovering that compliments the colors and warmth throughout the entire suite.

In the bathroom, the natural Arabescato marble floors surround the shower walls as well, making a luxurious statement. The freestanding tub is the perfect size for true comfort. The walnut cabinetry adds a deep richness to the owner’s bath and matches the custom walk-in closet.

The laundry room is conveniently attached to the owner’s walk-in closet. This space features a Whirlpool washer and dryer and quartz countertops. 

The large Marvin window in this home office showcases the Sputnik Sphere Chandelier which boosts curb appeal.

In the mudroom, custom built-ins and a storage bench provides ample space for storage. Hooks on the shiplap accent wall are used for organization and hanging. 

The staircase to the lower level is flanked by a matte black metal railing. Along with two bedrooms, a jack & jill bath, and a powder room, this lower level is also set up for entertaining. A sunken media lounge, game area, walk-up wet bar, and see-through fireplace lounge, all set the lower level as a perfect atmosphere to host your next movie night or big game.

A playful design twist in this lower level is a secret kids play area. White oak paneling helps to conceal the doorway. This secret room boasts custom shelving and storage for kids toys.
