If you have a heart which understands beauty, the knowledge of 'by-gone years' craftsmanship, and the need to exist within the walls of timeless style, purest materials, such as solid white oak, mahogany, leaded glass, and marble, understated elegance; all surrounded by live oaks, which began to grow some 500 years ago, gracing spacious lawns and carefully curated gardens on a high hill; then, this is your home. It simply has no equal. It truly is an irreplaceable masterpiece. Nearly 100 years ago, 'the castle' was built by the skilled hands of craftsman who came from Europe. They built with materials, which also came from Europe and islands beyond the seas. The exterior of the home and some of the interior walls, are solid granite. The attic floors, ceiling and beefy beams are all of solid mahogany. The dining room ceiling is a work of art. In 2012, the whole house was exquisitely transformed. The owners added a three car garage, with a fully equipped guest house above, with the convenience of a generator. The best part of this undertaking, was a full remodeling and updating the main; including, plumbing, electrical systems, and all the 'high-end' finishings. The kitchen contains top-line EVERYTHING. The carriage-way became the enclosed front entrance, with a soaring ceiling surrounded by windows which welcome the sunlight from all sides. The gorgeous original windows welcome the light into every room, and they provide a lovely frame for the historic oaks and many mature trees, and the new 50 foot lap pool with fountains which the current owners added. One may enter this secret garden space through a pair of stately iron gates The acre+sized property enjoys an impressive elevation and sits within a small circle, where traffic is minimum, privacy and safety is maximum, and peaceful tranquility can be blissfully lived.
