This stunning home is a replica of a castle in Ireland, but it has all the built-in luxuries of American living. The sunken living room has cathedral ceilings, a gas fireplace and a wall of glass two stories high that floods the home with amazing light. The kitchen is a chef's dream with top-of-the-line appliances, an honest to goodness bar, beautiful granite counters in the cooking area and on the built-in working desk. The kitchen opens to a large dining area and from there out to the large, covered swimming pool. The first floor has a bedroom and full bath, the second floor has the Primary Bedroom and bathroom, a large office space with endless bookshelves and two patios overlooking the huge oak tree in the gardens below. The third floor offers another bedroom and path with a patio. There is even a ladder going up to a secret loft area that reminds you of the ancient design to which this unique home pays homage. An open deck area extends to a tree overlooking the pool. All this in the small, friendly, heritage neighborhood of Golfview, from where you can walk to the Law School, Stadium and excellent shopping and restaurants just at the bottom of the Golf Course.
