this country French estate was inspired by homes from the late 1800's found in places like Normandy, Bourges and Cote D'Or. The charm of this 5+ bedroom, 5.5 bath home is evident at first glance. The old world copper details, trickling fountain peaking through the ivy covered stone walls, deep recessed windows, and richly stained mahogany garage doors will catch your eye as you approach the grand main entrance. Both the kitchen and the adjacent formal dining room open to the magnificent pool and patio area for grand entertaining. The extensive travertine patio area and sparkling pool are sure to be a favorite entertainment oasis. An outdoor trellis-covered kitchen and adjoining dining area overlook the gorgeous pool which includes an attached spa and a unique water feature. This space also includes a yard, play area, playhouse, and a convenient full outdoor kitchen. The area behind the home is open space which adds to the natural beauty and secluded feel of the property. A gate from the back of the property leads to a meandering trail through the open space.
