Measuring approximately 2,300 square feet, the elegant home spreads across three levels and offers a number of indoor and outdoor gathering areas. On the ground floor, a long hallway leads to the primary living spaces, which include a cozy lounge with a fireplace that opens to a covered terrace via large glass doors.
