An entire wall of exquisite built-in bookshelves provides a polished backdrop for elegantly displaying your library and memorabilia. At the end of the foyer, the gourmet kitchen features sprawling granite countertops, ample custom cabinetry, a pantry, and a sun-drenched dining area framed by large bay windows.
