Built in 2014, this 5-bedroom, 4.2-bath home offers 3,629 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space on a 5,600 square foot lot. Soaring 11' ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass sliders, and Velux skylights fill the home with natural light. A dramatic 130-square-foot living wall of 650 plants and tiled waterfall create striking architectural focal points. The chef's kitchen features marble slab waterfall countertops, gas range, wine refrigerator, and built-in Bosch, Miele, and Thermador appliances. The basement extends the home's exceptional entertaining range with a fully equipped wet bar, home theater with surround sound, and (unexpectedly) a spacious, light-gathering patio.
