The large gourmet kitchen is stunning, designed by a local artist, with top of the line 6 burner Bertazzoni gas stove and exhaust, farmhouse porcelain sink, ceiling height custom cabinets, large windows overlooking a charming courtyard. A magnificent adjoining dining room seamlessly flows out to an expansive roof terrace---a peaceful retreat that feels miles away from the city bustle, and is ideal for hosting unforgettable gatherings.
