The two-car garage features frosted glass doors and a hand-painted bronze epoxy floor—an art piece unto itself.

Entertainment abounds on the lower level, complete with a custom bar, secondary wine cooler, and flexible lounge—perfect for a home theater or game retreat. Indoor and outdoor living blend seamlessly through custom View Rail steel staircases, walls of glass, and expansive decks crowned with a hot tub and framed by timber beams and stone columns.
