A romantic bridge over the brook leads to a welcoming stone courtyard and the impressive stuccoed home with its European villa flair set on a high plateau. The columned porch for outdoor dining overlooks 4 beautiful acres with mature landscaping, the pool and pool house with echoing columns, and the guest house with its own private courtyard, all transporting you to the Tuscan countryside yet minutes from town on rolling, park-like land.
