This meticulously maintained custom-built, Shannon Model, luxury estate, offered by its original owner, presents a rare combination of timeless craftsmanship and expansive living. Commanding a premier presence in the neighborhood, the home features an additional 500 square feet of living space and a stately three-quarter face-brick exterior that offers both high-end elegance and low-maintenance durability.
