Located on one of, if not the most, prestigious streets in town, this Greek Revival home sits on an acre lot that is gated and fenced. As you enter the circular driveway, you pass through wrought iron gates, which create an impressive start to say the least. The front porch, which expands the front of the home, boasts eight stately columns, four French doors, wrought iron railings & a granite tiled floor. The double front door is surrounded by leaded glass windows. The rear of the home is equally impressive with its big composite deck that is partially covered. The patio is the perfect spot to take in the swimming pool, the adjacent spa and the private setting.
Main Level
Foyer/Entrance Hall: Upon entering, spacious entrance hall with hardwood floors sets the stage for more good things to come.

This room features a huge fireplace with gas logs flanked by lovely Palladian windows. On one side of the room there is a large entertainment center with wood doors that can be closed to conceal the audiovisual equipment. An architectural delight, the family room’s soaring ceiling is peaked with 12” crown molding that frames the dramatic peak. Behind the crown molding there is rope lighting that adds dramatic lighting onto the ceiling.
Wet Bar: A wet bar with slab granite counters, which can be accessed from both the kitchen and the family room, serves to separate the two areas.
