About This Home

As of October 2019

Stylistically reminiscent of the great David Adler. Functionally built to exceed every modern expectation. Breathtaking home must be seen to be believed! Located in East LF, steps away from the beach & lake. Arriving at this exquisite home, along a bricked drive through an allee of mature Linden trees, is like finding yourself in a bygone era. Elegant, gracious, immaculate & immensely welcoming, this is the home to raise your family & host your friends. Meticulously designed, the vast, exceptional interior is dramatic enough to entertain a large group of 100+ while still feeling intimate & cozy. Every room designed to bring the outdoors in, flooding the house with light & beauty. Spectacular grounds, painstakingly planned to the smallest detail. English walled secret garden, cool with shade and riotous with color, leads to fabulous swimming pool flanked by roses & box hedges. Built to accommodate & celebrate life's milestones-even the quiet ones. A magical oasis for generations to love
