Head up to the second level to find the spacious Primary bedroom wing, including a separate entranceway with two dressing rooms, linen closet, and a large marble bathroom with walk-in glass shower, soaking tub and separate sinks with vanities. Three additional suites, all with updated en-suites, completes the upper level. The spacious lower level provides ample dry storage and features a gated custom wine cellar. Two detached garages provide parking for up to 12 cars. Above the 4-car garage, is a one-bedroom apartment with a private entrance. Towards the back of the property is another 8-car garage.
