They revitalized the Italianate villa aesthetic, enhancing natural light and creating a contemporary feel within the nearly 12,000-square-foot residence. The home features seven bedrooms and ten bathrooms.
Expansive grounds include a swimming pool, cabana, paddle tennis court, and a secluded garden.
