Resplendent with outstanding natural light streaming through the south-facing windows, the sprawling abode features a graceful layout and wonderful scale. The 2nd floor is reached by a semi-private elevator landing where you are met with the more formal section of the residence with a grand scale classic six-room layout. A gracious marble-clad gallery with a stunning staircase connects both formal living areas.
