Enter a grand foyer with open stairs through which the water is immediately viewed via French doors. A partially ensconced dining room seating 12 with lovely, custom built-ins and uncompromising views neighbors a comfortable gathering / bar area with sounds system and similar views. Down two steps of a noticeably unique parquet and inlay floor (designed uniquely to each living space or room) to a main living room with French doors facing both North and East, one finds the primary and most gracious room for entertainment. With raised hearth fireplace and cathedral ceiling, open to the second level, and 7 sets of French doors, this proves to be every bit a host’s and guest’s delight. While very grand in some respects, this room and the house remain understated and elegant at every turn. A large, open, and comfortable eat-in country kitchen with 6 burner gas stove, 2 Miele dishwashers, tile floor, double Thermador oven, double Sub-Zero refrigeration, a butler’s pantry, granite countertops, and high-gloss, enamel-finish custom cabinets rests at the center of house’s activity. The back hall supports an artistically designed Monet motif powder room with pedestal sink, an office / library with water views and second fireplace, two guest rooms with private baths, laundry room with extra freezer, and several hall closets for storage. Access to the basement mechanicals and wine cellar, as well as private spiral stairs to the master bedroom sit at the end of the hall, near the side entrance. Both first floor bedrooms are of ample size and accommodation. 10 foot ceilings carry throughout the first floor area where not cathedraled.
