The main house was designed for grand entertaining and there’s a separate guest house with a total of seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms in 10,000 sq. ft. There are leaded glass French doors, beamed ceilings and hardwood floors giving the place a charming sophistication.
The three-quarter acre property also has a swimming pool, rose garden and a spice garden.
