A sweeping tiger oak staircase and jeweled stained glass greet you at the door, casting a spell of timeless elegance. At its heart, a reimagined chef’s kitchen shimmers with Calacatta gold marble, a grand walnut island, and a butler’s pantry — a space where gatherings feel both intimate and extraordinary.
