Entertaining can also be hosted in the classic formal living room offering two seating areas that are encircled by windows providing plentiful natural light and glistening views of the lush gardens.

The first floor master suite is filled with luxury, attached master bath relaxing oasis that includes a spa-like atmosphere with a steam shower, soaking tub, heated Riverstone floors, and the intimate landscaping of the private Zen Garden with tranquil fountain. The master suite bedroom displays silk whisper walls, and offers two generously-sized dressing rooms with custom drawers and closets.

The finished lower level includes a recreational area, game area, wet bar, caterers kitchen, and a striking 10-seat tiered home theater, along with additional space that would be perfect for an au pair or in-law-suite. The newly renovated one bedroom, one and a half bath guest house is an open design concept, surrounded by windows, providing a retreat for visiting friends and family. The property features five zones for cooling and heating, an exceptional sound system throughout the property (inside and out), and a heated detached 3-car garage.
