A Timeless Masterpiece.

Thoughtfully modernized yet infused with old-world charm, the kitchen features granite counters, Viking range, dual ovens, two Thermador dishwashers, warming drawer, large island, and butlers pantry with swinging door. The original main floor primary suite now serves as a family room with arched French doors opening to the pool courtyard. Wedded in history, the staircase and chandelier usher residents to the upper chambers. 4 bedrooms include one with a cedar-lined walk-in closet, another once a sewing room (complete with built-in iron rest and pull out board), and a light filled s
