Handcrafted by Smallbone of Devizes, the designer kitchen boasts stone counters, ample rich wood cabinetry, and premium appliances by Miele. Off of the entry gallery and convenient to the lofty living/dining room and terrace is a sweet, elegant, marble powder room. With its spa-like en suite bath - boasting radiant-heated marble floors, steam shower and deep, cast iron soaking tub, the large master suite - with its two big outfitted step-in closets and bright, open Eastern views - is a luxe suite worthy of the name. The guest suite is truly a second master - offering a nicely outfitted closet, an en suite bath with custom mosaic flooring, and more of this home's signature, sunshiny, open Eastern views.
