A spacious formal dining room and a magnificent living room, centered around an elaborate and substantial fireplace, provide an exquisite backdrop for both intimate gatherings and grand occasions.The fusion of modernity and history seamlessly emerges in the functional yet classically designed kitchen, featuring modern appliances, including Viking range with hood. The family room exudes warmth with herringbone wood floors, built-in shelving, and large windows overlooking the covered porch and extensive grounds.

Seven spacious bedrooms, five bathrooms, a separate laundry room, and ample storage space, complete the main residence. The enduring appeal of the estate is elevated by the sprawling and verdant grounds, full-size tennis court, and secluded /enclosed pool.
