The bifold doors lead directly into the drawing room, which features direct access to the side terrace as well as a bay window seating area.

The dining area offers direct entry to the entertainment patio and includes authentic wooden paneling.

A large kitchen showcases 'a blend of custom-made cabinetry and recycled components paired with high-tech gadgets and inventive innovations'.

Surprisingly, anyone who signs up for a viewing will discover a submerged, glass-covered wine cellar, an built-in pizza oven, a wine chiller, and a well-concealed full-size refrigerator-freezer combination.

The back entryway features space for boots, a compact coat closet, an additional staircases and a utility room equipped with a built-in dehumidifier along with overhead clothing racks.

Each room features underfloor heating, automated shades, ambient lighting, and built-in speakers.

The ground level features six bedrooms and three bathrooms.

Overlooking the gardens and extending vistas further, the principal bedroom suite is situated to the west of the house and includes a dressing area as well as an en-suite bathroom.

The guest suite is located at the far end of the house.
