No expense was spared in creating this sophisticated residence, where timeless materials, exquisite craftsmanship, and elevated design come together beautifully.

Artisan plaster accents on the fireplace and dining room walls add warmth and architectural elegance. Upstairs, all four bedrooms offer comfort and privacy, highlighted by a luxurious primary sanctuary with a spacious walk-in closet and spa-inspired bath featuring hand-finished plaster, natural Eco Outdoor stone flooring, a soaking tub, and custom vanities. Designer tile selections and refined finishes elevate the additional bathrooms and upstairs laundry room.
