original wide plank hardwood floors, exposed hand-hewn beams, and vintage architectural details are seamlessly integrated with upscale modern finishes. at the heart of the home lies a chef’s dream: a gourmet kitchen equipped with top-of-the-line thermador appliances, custom cabinetry, designer lighting, and a large center island—perfect for both casual meals and lively entertaining.
***smart living - thoughtfully integrated
designed for both beauty and functionality, the home features a fully integrated sonos surround sound system throughout the interior and outdoor living spaces—ideal for hosting or simply enjoying immersive audio every day. a state-of-the-art security system with cameras provides peace of mind, while brand-new hvac, electrical, and plumbing systems offer modern reliability wrapped in old-world charm. the home is topped with a striking metal slate roof, built to last for decades.
*** living spaces that inspire
from a formal dining room to a cozy family room with a dramatic 10-foot stone fireplace, this home is made for gathering. the sun-drenched atrium offers panoramic views of the backyard oasis, while a tucked-away speakeasy-style lounge adds a sense of fun and discovery.
