The lot is optimized for outdoor living, with a stone-surrounded pool and spa anchoring an entertaining space featuring a huge outdoor kitchen pavilion and swim-up bar, plus a shady pergola-covered seating area. A separate section is perfect for play with a level lawn, gravel sport court and elaborate playscape.

The study off the entry is sunlit with a breathtaking turret of floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating an elaborately pieced hardwood floor. Throughout the home, ceilings are treated as architectural elements, including the brick barrel-vaulted ceiling in the gourmet kitchen. There are also five fireplaces, each with an artisan-carved mantel.
