Holiday entertaining is easily accommodated in the East Asian influenced dining room with mahogany wainscot. Two first floor offices (one with access to a full bath) makes working from home easy. The primary bedroom retreat with Juliet balcony and wet bar, showcases a luxurious spa-like all marble bathroom with a large custom walk-in closet. Workouts and/or theater projector viewing (on the 12'x7' custom screen) can be enjoyed in the bonus room over the 4-car garage. A versatile floor plan, 10' & 9' ceilings, front and back staircases make this an exceptional value in today's market!
