The stunning great-room, crowned by 20-foot ceilings and anchored by a wood-burning fireplace in blackened steel, opens through full-height retractable glass walls onto terraces overlooking a private garden-creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. Oversized windows bathe the interiors with natural light, framing leafy south-facing views in front and the striking facade of a nearly 200-year-old stone church to the rear, ensuring privacy and tranquility.

A private elevator services all levels, with custom millwork and artisanal plaster finishes found throughout.
