This is a home of singular individuality with the mixture of spaces for entertaining, quiet reflection and beautiful grounds for gardening and being at one with nature.

Custom salvaged wood and metal cabinets are topped with soapstone and thick wood counters, industrial style track and pendant lighting, beadboard and exposed brick give this kitchen its unique appeal. The kitchen, breakfast area and family room are open to one another, forming a social hub where everyone will naturally gather and linger.
