Filled with unique styles and features, this well-crafted estate would surprise and captivate even the most discerning connoisseur of interior design. Tucked away in a beautiful woodland setting, the property is accessed through an automatic wrought-iron gate and up the long, winding tree-lined entrace to an expansive circular drive. Limestone facades, dormers, and domed entryways are abundant in the exterior of this 11,300 sqft French-inspired estate with its generously-sized 8 bedrooms and 13 baths.
