SECOND FLOOR The spacious landing leads south to an elegant formal dining room with a fireplace. Across the hall is the large eat-in kitchen with custom cerused oak cabinetry, Miele and Sub Zero appliances, and Calcutta gold marble island, countertops, and backsplashes. There is a bar area with a Subzero cooler and Scottsman ice maker. A pantry also features marble counters. This perfectly proportioned area leads out onto a landscaped entertaining terrace with a Wolf Grill and Subzero fridge.
