Overview

Beyond a gated entrance, this modern home blends sleek architecture, resort-like grounds with heated pool, tons of natural light and indoor outdoor living at its best. Designed by architect Mary Maydan in 2015, the two-level home offers 6 bedrooms and 5.5 baths, providing exceptional lifestyle flexibility. A dramatic great room features radiant-heated polished concrete floors, soaring ceilings, and walls of glass framing the private yard.
