With five bedrooms, five full/ two half baths, three living, and two dining areas, this retreat is magnificent at 7,832 square feet! Like any good fairy tale - this residence is filled with dramatic allure. Grand columns flank the entry to the front of the home and the fantasy begins upon entering through the over nine-foot wrought iron and textured glass double doors. As you enter the home the entryway is dramatic with a 24-foot ceiling and dome. The sweeping staircase with wrought iron details lead upwards to the second floor balcony where the guest bedrooms each have private baths.

Fully stocked, this bar will rival the most elite cafe with its incredible storage, built in fridge, and ice maker.
After enjoying your evening meal, you can retreat to the two-story library with added Turret Room. The stained glass decorative window that fills the library ceiling offers glorious light no matter the time of day. A grand fireplace, again a vision from a timeless fairy tale, is a work of art.
