Every detail has been curated to create a home equally suited for entertaining and everyday living. The interiors showcase a striking black-and-white aesthetic with clean architectural lines, designer fixtures, and elevated hardware throughout, including distinctive Buster + Punch appointments. A dramatic entry leads to the formal living room with a beautiful fireplace, while refined lighting adds warmth and ambiance throughout. At the heart of the home, an expansive family and great room flow seamlessly from the gourmet kitchen, ideal for both intimate living and large gatherings. The kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances, an oversized refrigerator, built-in coffee maker, and a dedicated coffee station with seating.
