Upon entering the entire freshly landscaped estate marked by an arched border of imported European Rose bushes and accented by stone design, lush greenery and Specimen Bamboo plantings screening the 2.09 acre property creates a wonderful private sanctuary. The floor plan features an expansive 2 story foyer. This home has all recently refinished hardwood floors throughout. Formal sun lit living room opens up to a large and airy room that can be used as office, playroom, or library. The formal dining room features a wood burning fireplace with custom art deco marble surround and gold gilded custom crown molding. The kitchen, with several well designed work areas, and large storage pantry opens to a casual dining spot separated from the family room with architectural pillars.
