Featuring grand principal rooms, exceptional finishes and high ceilings throughout, the home offers a stunning balance of traditional elegance with contemporary design and comforts.

Step into the front foyer where you will be greeted with natural light from the extraordinary skylight two-stories above.

The second floor is just as thoughtfully laid out. The east-facing office features six skylight-style windows along the slanted roofline perfect for looking out whilst maintaining privacy. It’s furnished with custom bookshelves, a lounge area, as well as a two-piece ensuite. A centre hall that opens from the main level below via a black wrought iron veranda makes this home feel well connected and allows the light to flood the halls, one of which leads you to three linen closets. Three spectacular, light-filled bedrooms complete this level, all with hardwood floors, large windows, custom window treatments, crown moulding, spacious walk-in closets and skylit ensuites.

Guests can choose a drink from the fabulous wet bar, play a game of billiards or watch the big sports game or a movie of their choosing. The lower level also offers two additional bedrooms and bathrooms, to be used as nanny or guest suites, or a wellness room as currently allocated. In addition, there is a spectacular home gym, a secondary kitchen and abundant storage space, along with a separate walk-up to the garage.

With almost half an acre of land, the backyard has been reimagined into a lush resort-like haven, beginning with an eye-catching inground saltwater pool.
