THE GROVE: Empty Nesters Take Flight

Empty nesters got their wish for a sophisticated home base to entertain family and friends in between travels. An expansion off the back of the home created a larger entertaining space, doubled the kitchen footprint and added a bath and Dining Nook. A second floor Primary Bed and Bath renovation created a colorful oasis where the luxury of uninterrupted me time is a daily indulgence. This home is filled with luxe finishes such as marble mosaics, ebonized oak, and silk velvet. The details of this home are all grown up but the home still keeps its light hearted sense of fun and whimsy.
