The property features an incredible grand foyer, parlor, library, media room, and an elegant kitchen with an additional service kitchen. With eight spacious bedrooms and ten bathrooms, this home is the epitome of sophistication and grandeur. Inside, you'll find grand chandeliers, ornate moldings, 11-foot ceilings, herringbone parquet floors, and custom marble throughout.
