Spectacular museum quality features include 10' coved ceilings, four intricately carved tiled fireplaces, parquet flooring with elaborate inlays and a grand Tara staircase rising to a stunning stained glass window bay (there are 31 stained glass window panels in the home). The opulent dining room of Moorish design with applied plaster tiled walls, built-ins and a large stained glass window nook framed by a Syrian arch is the star of the show. Showings by appointment.
