Thoughtful design & flexible living spaces define this refined residence. The oversized primary suite invites you to unwind in a true sanctuary of comfort, with tranquil light, generous proportions, & a spa-like aura. The primary suite features a California-style walk-in closet/dressing room. Adjacent, a versatile bedroom awaits your vision—configure it as a second bedroom for guests, a private study for focused work, or a serene reading nook to savor quiet moments. The chef-ready kitchen is a culinary enthusiast’s dream; gleaming granite countertops, professional-grade Wolf, Bosch, and Sub-Zero appliances, New solid-wood cabinetry, and a spacious pantry. As a bonus, the Sub-Zero refrigerator is equipped with a built-in reverse-osmosis filtration system for pristine, purified water. Rich wood flooring flows seamlessly throughout, complemented by marble baths that exude timeless elegance. The home is being sold beautifully furnished by Restoration Hardware, combining classic luxury with modern practicality.
