Wait until you see what's inside this stately Mediterranean manor!
Welcome to 5528 Holly Springs, where classical elegance meets modern luxury.
Grand foyer has a soaring 24' ceiling and inlaid marble flooring. Shall we see what's behind the curtain-paneled double doors?
Wood paneling, custom cabinetry, and herringbone wood flooring punctuate this handsome home office.
Another view of the foyer looking back toward the formal living area. Note not one but two coat closets flanking the front door.
The formal living area off of the foyer has herringbone wood flooring and a beautiful cast stone fireplace surround, one of two in the home.
Just beyond the formal living area is the formal dining room.
Formal dining measures 19' x 15' and can easily accommodate seated dinners for 12 or more.
Just beyond the dining room is one of two butlers' pantries. This one has built-in felt-lined silver storage!
Smaller groups can sit at the kitchen island if desired. The paneled freezer and refrigerator are Sub Zero of course.
Note the double Thermador ovens. There are also double dishwashers!
Walk-in kitchen pantry with loads of built-ins.
The kitchen opens to the living room, so you can cook without missing out on the action. Note the Viking six-burner gas cook top with built-in griddle.
In the other direction, you can see how the kitchen extends into the large (13' x 13') breakfast room and back door entrance. Note the Dutch door to the right that leads to the second butler's pantry.
Just off of the breakfast room is the outdoor kitchen, with Viking grill, sink, and built in refrigerator.
Discretely tucked in a hallway, the downstairs powder room has Venetian plastered walls.
The living room, measuring 27' x 25', offers space for a multitude of seating configurations and leads to the covered loggia, pool, and backyard. Here's where you'll find the second cast stone fireplace surround. 
A wine grotto just off of the living room is a hand-painted hidden surprise!
Covered loggia off of the living room overlooks all the backyard fun. Note the covered porch that leads both to the three-car garage and the garage apartment! I'll show you that space later on the tour.
Quickly though, here's the louvered screen viewed from the garage side, which offers additional privacy.
Also on the first floor you'll find the primary retreat. The cove lighting in its barrel-arched ceiling creates the perfect ambience.
The primary suite has large sitting area that overlooks the gorgeous backyard.
The primary bath, awash in Emperador marble, offers a jetted tub, a separate oversized shower, dual vanities, double closets and separate WCs too!

Here's the garage apartment, ideal for a live-in care-giver or the older kid who wants more independence.
Garage apartment has a walk-in closet, full bathroom, and another large storage closet, in addition to the kitchenette.
