A second living space, designed as a library or office, features deep blue accent walls and floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves, ideal both work and relaxation. The chef's kitchen is well-appointed with oversized stainless steel appliances, exposed brick, ample counter space, and an oversized butler's pantry that also serves as a full bar for entertaining.

All bedrooms are en suite, offering generous proportions, spa-inspired bathrooms, and peaceful views of the surrounding landscape. Recent improvements include a fully insulated attic, updated exhaust systems in all bathrooms, and structural enhancements throughout the property. The detached garage accommodates up to nine vehicles and has been upgraded to support a variety of uses including a workshop, storage space, or collector's showcase. The beautifully landscaped grounds feature citrus trees, private gates and fences, a shaded patio area, and seasonal blooms that enhance the estate's curb appeal and livability. The property sits on a quiet, sweeping corner lot framed by mature oak trees, offering tranquility and space just minutes from the city's core. Floor plan and survey are available. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own an estate that combines timeless Southern architecture with exceptional convenience and livability.
