Inside, quarter-sawn oak floors, marble finishes, intricate millwork, and abundant natural light complement gracious formal rooms, a marble kitchen, private study, and generous living room with fireplace. Four bedrooms include a luxurious primary suite and spacious guest suite, while a finished lower level with game room and theater and a top-floor flex space provide room for recreation, work, and entertaining.
