Set behind a custom steel gate on... an expansive 20,632-square-foot lot, the property sits elevated above the street and surrounded by mature landscaping creating a secluded sanctuary with no neighboring homes overlooking the grounds. The residence blends classic architectural character with a modern open-concept floor plan designed for both comfortable daily living and elegant entertaining.
