Offering something for everyone, this elegant, completely turnkey estate also offers generous secondary bedrooms, dual office suites, one with wood paneling custom built-ins and gas fireplace, a laundry room and a fully finished lower level that is ideal for hosting casual gatherings which includes a second full kitchen, two full baths, a home gym, a custom stone fireplace, an expansive game room area and French doors that open to a covered patio with views of the Koi pond and a custom fountain.

A second detached three-car garage has been converted by the current owner, in a painstaking $500,000 renovation process, into an English pub. Features include a walk-in wine cooler, reclining theater seating, hand-scraped hardwood floors, four tap handles and a gorgeous slab of tiger eye granite for the wrap-around bar. Three sets of glass doors connect the pub to the travertine motor court, creating a lively venue for indoor/outdoor entertaining.
