Both the living room and kitchen open onto a spectacular wraparound deck for all-summer enjoyment, complemented by a charming outdoor breezeway that enhances the home's unique indoor-outdoor flow. Features include a residential elevator, hardwood floors throughout, wrought iron railings, spiral staircase, abundant closet space, and built-in speakers.

Comfort is enhanced by 4-zone heating and 3-zone central air conditioning. Two-car garage. Approximately 4622 sq. ft. of living space.
