Designed with entertainment in mind, the refined interior spaces come complete with a collection of premium furnishings. A Sonos multi-room audio system and 12 high-definition TVs enhance entertainment throughout the property. The chef’s kitchen offers a spacious waterfall-edge island and features a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf eight-burner gas range, dual dishwashers, floating shelves and sleek European-style cabinetry. Bespoke finishes elevate every space, including quartz countertops, designer lighting, an interior elevator, custom tambour wood walls, artisanal iron stair rails, 7-inch baseboards and 8-foot interior doors. Each floor includes a wet bar with beverage refrigerators, ice makers or dishwashers, creating effortless flow for entertaining.
