The home underwent a thoughtful renovation of the kitchen, primary bedroom, baths and the entire english basement adding a stunning wet bar, family/media/game room, another bedroom and full bath with a steam shower, laundry and storage room. In addition, a two story deck was added onto the back of the house for more outdoor space. The four fireplaces are gas direct vent and a built in sound system was added throughout the home with speakers in the ceilings or outside on the walls over the decks. The chef's kitchen features Sub-Zero/Wolf stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry, island, breakfast nook, wine cooler and two sinks with touch activated faucets. The primary bedroom suite has a fireplace, a walk-in closet and a walk-in shower, dual sinks, a soaking tub and it even has a skylight.
