Inside, cherry hardwood floors and coffered ceilings support a sophisticated ambiance, complemented by multiple marble fireplaces and a wine cellar, perfect for keeping cozy.

The home boasts four bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and 6,106 sqft. Outdoor living reaches new heights with a resort-style heated pool, private landscaping, and a year-round veranda with a fireplace. Smart home features like Lutron lighting and electric vehicle wall chargers make living here more convenient.
