The second & third levels include seven generous bedrooms & six baths. Complementing the main house is an architecturally unique carriage house with attached living space. Outbuildings, a tennis court area, & a pool surrounded by lush perennial gardens complete this magical setting. A hidden solar panel field & two generators are thoughtful practical amenities.
