The chefs kitchen offers a large island, breakfast nook, custom storage and stainless appliances. A bedroom and full bath join the large family room to form a private guest apartment if needed. Dominating the main sleeping wing, the primary suite dazzles with a custom walk-in closet and spa bath with soaking tub.
