Step outside to the private rooftop deck, the perfect setting for entertaining or simply enjoying the tranquility of the surroundings. The lower level is a true extension of the home's luxury, featuring a grand family room, a stunning custom bar, and an additional guest suite or office. With sightlines into the side yard, the space is as functional as it is beautiful. As rare as it is desirable, this home also features a spacious three-car garage and a fully fenced side yard, an exceptional outdoor extension of the home's sophisticated design.
