Nearby, a custom-built bar invites cocktail hour, while the gourmet kitchen dazzles with gleaming quartz countertops and premier chef-grade appliances.
An expansive formal dining room offers the perfect backdrop for lavish dinner parties, and a romantic screened porch, bathed in flickering gaslight and draped in fragrant wisteria, provides an enchanting spot to enjoy an aperitif.
