World charm with modern twists

With five bedrooms and seven baths spread across interior space that totals just over 7,800 feet, this home offers unique luxury for a large family and an abundance of outdoor space to entertain a crowd. Each bedroom offers direct access to either a balcony or patio, and the tropical rear yard includes two semi-enclosed patio areas with both fireplaces and televisions, a double waterfall pool, spa, slide, basketball court, and a built-in BBQ kitchen with a fire pit. Indoors, the home features a movie theater, exercise room, huge game room with bar, and a sports court. The second-floor owners' suite provides impressive "his and her" features, including a jetted spa tub and steam shower, dual closets, cozy fireplace, and large balcony. The downstairs guest suite has private entrances, both from the pool area and from the front courtyard. The features and finishes of this traditional home are impeccable, with old-world charm enhanced by modern conveniences. The chef's kitchen is designed to accommodate a single cook but serves equally well for entertaining a crowd. Unusual ceiling treatments, columns, and decorative stone accents are architectural jewels, and the home is tastefully designed with only the finest of natural materials and finishes. Multiple fireplaces add an air of luxury, and a private wine cellar will appeal to the most discerning collector. Private disappearing pocket doors blur the transition from indoors to out. Garage space for four vehicles is integrated into the plan.
