Two large islands feature custom-crafted pine cabinetry with marble countertops, roll-out shelving, baskets and warming drawers are at the center of the kitchen, enhanced with Palladian windows, limestone and marble floors beautifully designed with today's discerning homebuyer in mind. The breakfast spot and cozy fireplace create the perfect start to the day. An elegant butler's pantry is outfitted with drawers customized for silver and back-lit glass­front cabinets set against walnut countertops and lovely William Morris fabric covered walls. Formal powder room- The formal powder room was inspired by Marie Antoinette's salon at Versailles. Elaborate paneling is finished with inlaid mirrors and a faux painted strie that highlights the unusual onyx on the marble floor. Individual custom painted neo-classical garden murals decorate the remaining panels and provide unusual artistry and elegance. A second powder room on this floor adds versatility. A nearby mudroom boasts a charming custom built-in pine storage bench with mirror, double coat closets with ample shelving and limestone floor and baseboard moldings . Library- The two-story library wing is the piece de resistance, modeled after libraries in some of the great English houses in the Regency style, featuring classical columns and intricate ironwork reminiscent of that period. Intricately designed coffered ceilings incorporate detailed moldings, recessed lighting and a dramatic mezzanine level. The focal two-story window with a remote-controlled Roman shade illuminates the room. Pine paneled walls surround the room featuring built-in custom library cabinetry with glass­paned doors, decorative wood mullions and in-cabinet lighting. The 250 year-old white and green marble fireplace originates from a townhouse in the Kensington section of London. Enjoy the concealed entertainment center or an impressive hidden wet bar with mirrored doors and marble countertop. A second-floor mezzanine walkway with wrought iron and brass railing hovers above the library on three sides with lofty views of the room below and curved window bench seat, custom library cabinetry with glass doors and decorative wood mullions line the mezzanine walls. Recessed pocket doors lead from this level to the main section of the second-floor living space with its luxurious bedrooms and bathrooms. 2nd floor Master suite- The romantic master bedroom suite boasts a dressing room with six double closets with mirror paneled doors, custom shelving and recessed drawers. The marble-clad master bath, newly renovated in 2016, features a double vanity and oversized shower with custom-made shower enclosure. A lighted, faux- finished sky dome is an impressive centerpiece to the elegant bath.

A third and fourth bedroom (with fireplace), two beautifully renovated hall baths and a separate laundry center reside on this floor.
