A sliding door leads to an expansive private terrace on this level. The first floor offers both intimate and larger entertaining spaces. Imagine a large cocktail party with guest flowing out onto the private terrace on a warm evening, or equally elegant, a dinner party for six. The second level creates a clear separation between the entertaining and private spaces. The large den/study with built ins has a full wall of glass and a smaller landscaped terrace, a perfect spot for a quiet repose. The master bedroom has a cozy sitting area and the second bedroom is now used as a study/guest room. Two baths and a walk-in closet complete this level. Elevator access to both levels. Deeded garage parking space.
