For the discerning buyer who values architectural integrity, European craftsmanship, and refined sophistication - welcome to The Castle. Nearly a century old yet flawlessly renewed, this irreplaceable estate stands as a testament to artistry, history, and elegance without equal. Perched atop a gentle hill and gracefully canopied by centuries-old live oaks, the more-than-an-acre grounds offer an atmosphere of serenity, privacy, and prestige. Crafted by artisans from Europe using imported materials - solid white oak, mahogany, leaded glass, and marble - the home's solid granite exterior, white oak floors, and hand-carved dining room ceiling exemplify a standard of artistry rarely seen today. Every detail reflects the soul and precision of true craftsmanship. The attic floors, ceiling, and robust beams are all of solid mahogany - a striking testament to the home's enduring quality. In 2012, the residence underwent a complete transformation, seamlessly blending its historic essence with modern luxury. A three-car garage and fully appointed guest residence were added, along with a home generator. The main home is enhanced with all-new systems, designer lighting, and bespoke finishes. The chef's kitchen is a showpiece - featuring custom cabinetry, premium appliances, and exquisite attention to detail. The former carriageway was reimagined as a dramatic granite and glass-enclosed entry hall with soaring ceilings that bathe the interior in natural light. Nearly every room overlooks manicured gardens, mature trees, and a new 50-foot lap pool accented by sculptural fountains. Beyond the stately iron gates, a private garden sanctuary unfolds - a secluded retreat offering tranquility, security, and elegance within an exclusive, low-traffic enclave. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a remarkable legacy estate - timeless, historic, and crafted to be cherished for generations. You must see this home to truly appreciate its unparalleled beauty!
