Throughout the home, discover exquisite craftsmanship: tongue-and-groove black walnut walls, Birger Juell hand-sculpted walnut floors, and floor-to-ceiling windows that blur the line between indoors and out. The sleek Bulthaup stainless steel kitchen featuring Gaggenau ovens and a Sub-Zero refrigerator, is both refined and functional.
