The Sillivan & Chiles addition provides more modern touches including a GOURMET KITCHEN with Sub-Zero & Dacor appliances, warm and welcoming family spaces, plus an ELEVATOR leading to all 3 levels making this a home for all ages. WALLS OF WINDOWS & numerous french doors bring the outside in to create PRICELESS VIEWS. Enjoy a morning coffee while sitting on your WRAP-AROUND DECK overlooking WELL-MANICURED GARDENS, or throw a fishing line into the creek for some early evening RELAXATION. A SPECTACULAR PROPERTY like this only becomes available ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME.
