The dining room is lined with linen-fold paneling & leaded, stained glass windows and is connected to the chef-quality kitchen that has been fully renovated in keeping with the home’s original style. The hidden bar with hand carved walls has a secret door leading to the showstopping pool, spa and manicured gardens.
