The home also features a library with hand-crafted maple built-in bookcases, a catering kitchen, an elevator, and a pool cabana suite. Extensive windows fill the home with natural light and provide stunning views of the terrace, gardens, and pool.

The estate provides plenty of room to host guests with a separate three-bedroom wing and an additional ensuite guest room. The master suite features two bedrooms and two bathrooms, three oversized walk-in closets, and two dressing rooms.
Three fireplaces, a wine cellar, and multiple sun rooms highlight the luxury estate and provide for effortless entertaining. Two recreation rooms feature a fireplace, wet bar, and exercise area.
