In the jaw dropping kitchen you'll find a range hood and a sink both in hand-hammered copper, wall oven, soapstone inspired honed granite for style but easy maintenance, pantry, pot filler, and a custom storage wall that must be seen to be fully appreciated. Custom doors between the kitchen and living room tuck neatly away to allow for an open concept feel, or seamlessly swing into place to separate the spaces. Via massive mahogany french doors, step out onto the cafe terrace for your morning cup of coffee or to gather herbs. Its shape references the main turret at the front of the home- Just the kind of unique and thoughtful detail blending historic and modern luxury that you would expect from Pier & Curtain Home Restoration. After exploring the ample living room, main level ensuite bedroom, the other bedrooms with original beadboard ceilings and fireplaces, and reveling at the original details including the glass transom and sidelights in the grand hall, round stained glass windows, you really want to see what's upstairs.
