Beyond the dining room is the gorgeous chef's kitchen, featuring warm wood cabinetry, an oversized center island with white countertops and seating, open shelving, and top-of-the-line appliances including a professional six-burner range. Beyond the kitchen is a separate breakfast area and informal lounging area. A wall of glass opens to the large garden and allows natural light to flood into the kitchen area. A butler's pantry, powder room, and additional storage complete this floor. The grand parlor floor offers 11-foot-high ceilings and two beautifully proportioned living rooms.
