A stunning 10-foot island topped with leathered granite anchors the space, complemented by a custom dry bar with wine fridge and an open layout that flows seamlessly into the main living and dining areas. Throughout the home, designer touches such as custom moldings, wallpaper accents, and a stair carpet runner add warmth and character.
