The property includes a balcony deck, a heated driveway that leads to a four-car garage, and stone steps that ascend from the driveway along a retaining wall to a water feature.

Formal entry opens to a two-story foyer with a balcony bonus room above. The balcony railing is curved to match the curved walkways into the formal dining room and library. Pocket French doors open from the foyer into the library, which has wainscoting, accent lighting and built-in cabinetry that flanks the gas fireplace with detailed mantel.

A single pocket door opens from the library into the first-floor main bedroom suite. The bedroom has a cathedral ceiling, a walk-in closet, French doors that open out to a small balcony that overlooks the back yard. Double doors open into a bathroom with a whirlpool tub, a dual-head shower, and a tall vanity with double sink and granite countertop.

Marble flooring fills the foyer and wraps around to the main bedroom suite hallway and around the curved open staircase, past the formal dining room and into the kitchen and breakfast room. A breakfast room opens to a balcony deck with access to the driveway and the back yard. The kitchen has been updated with granite countertops on hickory cabinetry that includes an island, planning desk and pantry.

A stone backsplash was added, and stainless-steel appliances include a commercial-grade, six-burner gas range, a sub-zero refrigerator, hood-vent and dishwasher.

Three bedrooms and two full bathrooms are located upstairs off a loft-like hallway. One bedroom has a built-in window seat while another has access to an outside balcony and the bonus room above the foyer. Two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath while the third has a private bath. All three bedrooms have walk-in closets.

A curved stairwell leads to the finished lower level. Stone floors fill the sitting area, hallway and wet bar area. Lantern sconces accent the entry ways into the bar room and the media room, which also has glass windows and a double pocket door entrance.

Patio doors open from the media room to the back yard, and the media room has a 162-inch screen plus platform for theater seating. The bar room has a peninsula bar and a wall of built-in cabinetry and countertops that surround a single sink.

A fifth bedroom is at the end of the hallway and has a tall daylight window, walk-in closet and private entrance to the full bath that also has hallway access. There is a bonus room with wood flooring and raised stage or platform. This room could be a music room, dance room or exercise room.
