Surrounded by towering mature trees, this estate is the perfect retreat. The striking stucco home is beautifully situated on the property to create sweeping lawns and a private backyard oasis with stone patios and a pool. The home exudes an understated grandeur with tall ceilings and classic detailing throughout. Designed to provide exceptional property views from every room, the floor plan works well for both living and entertaining with oversized doorways to facilitate an easy flow and openness between all of the rooms. Features include three levels of living space, fine millwork and wainscoting, graciously sized rooms, beautiful quarter sawn oak hardwood flooring, and walls of windows. The pool plumbing, heating, and deck were all replaced about 7 years ago. This property truly has it all in a highly desirable location!
