At its heart, a dramatic staircase ascends within an octagonal living hall, a breathtaking centerpiece that anchors the home’s architectural splendor. Expansive verandas and porches extend the living space, inviting both grand entertaining and serene reflection. The estate unfolds with luxurious amenities: a classic pool, tennis court, and a collector’s car barn. A guest house offers refined hospitality, while a 40' x 15' gourmet kitchen—appointed with European fixtures—is a stage for culinary artistry. The glamorous owner’s suite is a private sanctuary of elegance and repose.

Beneath the estate, an underground stone-and-plaster tunnel leads to a magnificent wine cellar, a hidden retreat where conversations linger into the night by invitation.
