One of the worst things about great things is how unattainable they usually are.
Until, they are not. “Timing is everything.”

If you have a heart which understands beauty, the knowledge of ‘by-gone years’ craftsmanship, and the need to exist within the walls of timeless style, purest materials, such as solid white oak, mahogany, leaded glass, and marble, understated elegance; all surrounded by live oaks, which began to grow some 500 years ago, gracing spacious lawns and carefully curated gardens on a high hill; then, this is your home. It simply has no equal. It truly is an irreplaceable masterpiece.

Nearly 100 years ago, ‘the castle’ was built by the skilled hands of craftsman who came from Europe. They built with materials, which also came from Europe and islands beyond the seas. The exterior of the home and some of the interior walls, are solid granite. The attic floors, ceiling and beefy beams are all of solid mahogany.
The dining room ceiling is a work of art.

In 2012, the whole house was exquisitely transformed. The owners added a three car garage, with a fully equipped guest house above, with the convenience of a generator. The best part of this undertaking, was a full remodeling and updating the main; including, plumbing, electrical systems, and all the ‘high-end’ finishings. The kitchen contains top-line EVERYTHING. The carriage-way became the enclosed front entrance, with a soaring ceiling surrounded by windows which welcome the sunlight from all sides.

All that is needed in a new build was provided (Low Insurance rates), while retaining and preserving all that is rare, beautiful, and coveted by those who know. The experience of a space created by those who are driven by integrity, and who possess rare talent has enormous value; which here, is elevated to virtue.

The gorgeous original windows welcome the light into every room, and they provide a lovely frame for the historic oaks and many mature trees, and the new 50 foot lap pool with fountains which the current owners added. One may enter this secret garden space through a pair of stately iron gates, which were designed by the current owner.

Also added by the current owners:
- Marble floors and steps upon the pool patio, which is enclosed by granite arches.
- Fresh paint on all exterior woodwork.
- Waterproofing on the granite walls.
- Waterproofing on the exterior and
interior walls of the huge basement.
- Rebuilt closets, including a large new linen closet.
- Whole-house water filtration/softener.
- Reverse Osmosis water filtration with instant hot dispenser in the kitchen.
- Some faucet upgrades.
- New security system.
- New entertainment system.
- A new HVAC system in the guesthouse.
- New roof over the stone pool patio.
The standing-seam metal roof was installed about four years ago.

The acre+sized property enjoys an impressive elevation, thanks to the wisdom of the original owner. It sits within a privileged small circle, where traffic is minimum, privacy and safety is maximum, and peaceful tranquility can be blissfully lived. It is a world set apart; while everything needed is close by, even a day at the beach.
