The stonework surrounding the front door is just a glimpse of the elegant details on the inside.
Solid oak and iron double doors welcome you in to your gorgeous new home. This home exudes understated elegance with its limestone floors!
The (freshly painted) exterior elevation is reminiscent of a French villa. 
Thoughtful archways offer a glimpse of what's to come. To the left of the front door is the dining room. 
Iron cabinets house your most beautiful of stemware or china. Set your table for 14 if you wish.
Let's see what's on the right side off of the foyer.
It's a beautiful study, complete with custom floor to ceiling cabinetry, and abundant natural light.
Another view of the dining room showing the butler's pantry around the corner.
Off of the foyer is a winding and open stair case that leads to all five bedrooms.
Also tucked away off of the foyer, the more formal of the two downstairs half-baths has hand-painted details.
Before we see the rest of the first floor, just look up at the cupola. So many fabulous architectural details!
Shall we see the den next? Just look at the stone gas-log fireplace. What a stunning focal point?!
Here's another view of the den looking toward the kitchen. Note the operable French doors in the center.
Opposite the den is the kitchen, tastefully remodeled in late 2019. 
Clean lines make for a very handsome and functional kitchen, complete with its uninterrupted island with counter seating.
Here's another view of the kitchen that shows the breakfast room just beyond.
Appliances are Sub-Zero and Wolf and include a steam oven, range with double ovens, and speed oven. 
Four-burner gas range has double-ovens and a griddle as well. Pancakes, Anyone?
There's even a coffee bar tucked away off of the kitchen.
Here's a closer view of the butlers pantry and side entrance from the porte-cochere.
Now on to the breakfast room. Just beyond it is the second half-bath, with access to the pool. 
Off of the breakfast room is a covered porch with another gas-log fireplace. 
Here's another view back into the home. 
Here's the vessel sink and attractive wall-mounted plumbing fixtures.
The back stairs are just off of the garage. And here's the door that leads to the pool too.
The front stairs lead to an illuminated rotunda. The primary retreat is to the left through the archway.
Spacious primary suite, 15' x 21', overlooks the pool area below and has dual bathrooms and closets. Not everyone likes to share.
Marble and mosaic tile work make for an elegant spa-like primary bath. This is one of two!
The tub is jetted, so you can soak your cares away.
How thoughtful to have a built in desk space in the primary bath area?
There's a vanity just outside of the first primary bathroom as well.
Customized and abundant storage for shoes and bags in this closet.
Here's another view of the second primary bathroom, leading to its walk-in closet.
Just outside of the primary suite is the home's elevator. It accesses not only the two main floors but also the finished out attic space above. Let's go back around to see the secondary bedrooms.
Each of the secondary bedrooms has its own private bath and walk-in closet.
This tub/shower combo has great mosaic detail. The walk-in closet is just beyond that closed door.
Another secondary bedroom with wood flooring.
Here's it's gorgeous bath. Just look at the finishes!
A third secondary bedroom, again with its own bath and walk-in closet.
This secondary bathroom has a shower only instead of a tub/shower combo.
A hallway separates the first four bedrooms and another living area, currently used as a TV room. Look at the ceiling in there.
This area has speakers installed in the ceiling for a great surround-sound experience.
And, tucked away down a hall from the TV room is the fifth bedroom. 
Wait until you see see it's bathroom!
Complete with a vanity, this secondary bathroom makes for the most thoughtful guest suite!
On the second floor is also a flex space, used currently as a home gym. The spiral stairs lead to the finished attic, but you can also use the elevator.
I saved the pool view for last! Plunge into the heated pool for some relaxation. 
Back outside, note the extra parking in the driveway and the garage just beyond the porte-cochere.
Lots of extra parking in the front, as shown from above.
