Nearby, a breakfast nook provides garden and pool views. Between sits the kitchen, with elite appliances, countertops, an island and bar seating. For entertainment, the home offers an 85” TV and sound system, and a spectacular 400-sq-ft cinema. A large office on the main level makes work from home easy. The 5 bedrooms are on the lower level, ensuring privacy. The principal suite is a serene haven with a custom fireplace, garden views, deck access, walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath. A second principal suite has its own en-suite bath, closet with built-in desk, and deck access. An au pair suite (now configured as a gym), with a separate entrance, completes the floor. The outdoor dining terrace seats 12-14 by a fireplace. Just steps below lie the lush lawn and heated pool and sun deck. A slate roof offers enhanced fire resistance.
