Climb the carefully crafted winding staircase or conveniently ascend by way of elevator to the upper level to find all five considerable bedrooms, including two intimate suites on each wing of the home, each equipped with marvelous ensuite baths and direct access to their own private terrace that enjoys breathtaking views of the countryside. Rounding out the upper level is an immense rear terrace detailed with fresco painting on the ceiling of the covered section, timeless light fixtures that illuminate the space in the evening hours, and a staircase that provides access to the voluminous rear yard. This property is completed by guest quarters that features a private entrance from the main home, a tremendous living room, a formal dining room, a kitchenette, two sizable bedrooms, and a masterfully tiled full bath.
