Built in 2007 (App website has age/size incorrectly) with stunning architectural details and finishes which harken back to when architects were truly ''master builders,'' and when design and construction were more tightly integrated. An imported Italian tile roof complemented with an additional octagon copper turret, 3 HVAC's and 4 water heaters. Stepping through the leaded-glass front door with side lights and transom, you will be greeted with Santos Mahogany floors flowing hout the main floor, landings and stairs. 10 foot ceilings, 10 inch baseboards and three -piece dentil crown molding adorn the home.
