Designed for both entertaining and daily living, the chef's kitchen features dual oversized islands, a Wolf oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator, hand-pounded copper sinks, a walk-in pantry, and custom ironwork chandeliers by local artisan Steven Handelman. The adjoining living and dining areas flow seamlessly from indoors to out.The expansive great room integrates multiple seating and game areas beneath soaring ceilings.
