Home of the Day: Slam dunk for spacious, contemporary style

A chef’s kitchen with full butler’s pantry, great room and luxurious master suite define the interior. Outdoor amenities include a built-in grill, fire pit and a swimming pool complete with a spa, waterfall and slide. Half-court not included.
