🏠️ This house is wild
Listed by: For Sale by Owner
A chef’s playground meets entertainer’s dream in this 7,065-square-foot stunner, where the kitchen flexes Wolf and SubZero muscle, built-in wine cooler, and two-tone cabinetry. Antique oak floors (older than the United States), limestone fireplace, and crown molding dial up the drama, while the master suite is basically its own apartment with a closet bigger than most bedrooms and sunset views through French doors. Even laundry gets the VIP treatment with custom cabinetry and a second SubZero.
Outside, the pool spills into a three-acre pond, complete with ambiance lighting, a firepit, and a misting system that keeps bugs on the guest list only. Salt-sanitized spa, outdoor kitchen, and a patio ready for year-round parties. All wrapped up in impact glass, insulated concrete, and a metal roof that laughs at storms.
