Appliances include a 30-inch Viking integrated panel refrigerator and matching freezer, Bosch custom panel dishwasher, AGA convection range, and a Waterstone polished nickel faucet with instant hot water. The primary suite is a peaceful sanctuary with beautiful city views and truly exceptional storage, with custom built-in closets seamlessly integrated throughout the bedroom and ensuite and a generous walk-in closet offering outstanding organization and capacity. The spa-quality ensuite features a custom open walk-in shower finished in Calacatta marble with onyx mosaic detailing, a built-in bench, and a dramatic silver-leaf domed ceiling, with Calacatta marble and onyx inlay carried throughout the flooring and countertops. Additional highlights include dual sinks, a dedicated makeup vanity, abundant cabinetry, and a deep soaking tub, creating a luxurious private spa experience. The secondary bath is equally refined and finished in crisp white Daltile.
