With over 11,0000 feet of living area, this 5 bedroom 8 bath home draws you in immediately from the street the moment it comes into view. As impressive as it is on the outside, the inside is really the main attraction.

The windows offer a peaceful view to the courtyard terrace and backyard area which is lined with trees for privacy. The perfect spot for breakfast, in my opinion.
