Custom Miton cabinetry, Miele appliances and Caesar Stone countertops adorn the chef’s kitchen with a full “dirty” kitchen adjacent yet completely hidden. A 12-foot high wall of book matched Pietra Gray Spanish Marble slabs separate the great room from the home theater, the master suite and guest rooms all with en suite baths finished in Portuguese porcelain tile, polished chrome Dornbracht fixtures, custom cabinetry and countertops.
