Two gas fireplaces add warmth, including one with an exquisite French marble mantel. Two sunrooms, 4+ bedrooms, two full and two half baths offer generous living space.

The refinished basement offers surround sound, a full bar, wine chiller and a concealed bookcase leading to a safe room with a valuables safe and exterior escape hatch. Mature grounds, an Italian-style fountain, and a dedicated irrigation well complete this extraordinary property.
