Inside, 10-foot ceilings soar to a dramatic 26 feet in the living room, where a floor-to-ceiling full-slab statement fireplace with a 74-inch Dimplex linear fireplace anchors an impressive 100-inch media installation. White oak hardwood flooring extends throughout, while a custom floating staircase constructed with solid-steel structural elements, oak treads, integrated lighting and custom railing creates a striking architectural centerpiece. Expansive folding glass door systems on both levels create seamless indoor-outdoor living, complemented by a custom iron front entry with privacy glass.

Additional upgrades include a high-efficiency Rinnai tankless water heater, whole-house APEC water filtration and conditioning system, smart HVAC integration and extensive interior and exterior improvements.
