A stately mahogany door warms the front entrance.

This beautiful built-in a perfect spot to drop all your belonging upon entering from the two-car garage! Look at all the additional storage too!
The travertine flooring from the foyer carries into the lovely office at the front of the home. A custom ordered bookcase from Italy (which will convey with the home) anchors the room. While crisp, white crowned moldings and a trayed ceiling completes the space.
This angle captures the full glass patio door which leads to the side of the home. 
The En Suite bath has a shower/tub combination.
The second floor is open concept; and light, bright, and airy best describes this space. The gas burning fireplace with cast stone surround is flanked by rich wooden cabinentry with lots of storage and glass fronts.
Being a corner unit allows light to flow in from all sides!
Arches over the floor to ceiling windows, and over the columns add architectural interest. The custom ornamental wrought ironwork staircase delivers an artistic flare throughout the home. The "middle" window is actually a door to one of the many balconies this home has to offer!

Transitioning to the third floor, which contains the Master Suite, the attention to detail is seen throughout the home! 
The Master Suite is a soothing, and relaxing space with its neutral palette and secluded privacy.
The Master Suite balcony is a perfect spot to unwind in the treetops! Noticed the wooden bead board ceiling with recessed canned lights, and the beautiful sconce on the front on the arched columns.
