Boasting a wealth of living space, the residence comprises 7,215 sq. ft. above-ground area, augmented by two two-car garages, two expansive porches, three generous balconies, and a finished basement spanning approximately 4,100 sq. ft. - resulting in over 12,000 sq. ft. under roof.

The three additional bedrooms boast large walk-in closets and ensuite bathrooms, creating private havens for every member of the household. The finished basement, spanning ~2,500 of finished sq. ft., adds another dimension to this extraordinary home. Complete with a wet bar, a brick fireplace, four large rooms, a custom redwood wine cellar, a workshop space, two closets, a full bathroom, and ample storage, the basement offers versatility and endless possibilities.
