You'll fall in love with this home even before you enter. The two level front porches exude importance. This house was built to impress. And it does. The pediments over the windows and doors set the tone for what is on the other side of the front door.

The center hallway opens to the stately dining room on the left and the living room and office on the right. A door at the back side of the office opens out to the private pool and rear garden. The pool is private to this house.

I first really noticed this home about twenty years ago when the large rear grounds were being developed into new homes in a land based condominium association. Even back then there were few large undeveloped lots. So new construction was a rarity. The resultant development allowed for construction of new houses and individual pools while avoiding the adherence to standard building density requirements. The current HOA fee is just $645 per year and only covers common area (walkways and parking) maintenance. Home owners maintain their homes.

The grand staircase leads to the second floor where the master bedroom with ensuite bath are on the west side of the home. Two guest bedrooms are located on the east side and share a bath.

A door at the front of the second floor opens to the covered porch.  This is one impressive property. They don't build homes like this anymore. A smaller stairway leads from the second floor hallway to the third floor suite.

This home has 3,335 square feet of living space and sits on a 5,124 square foot lot. There are two off street parking spaces.
