Designed by renowned architect William Baker, known for his classical architectural designs, this home is featured in one of many books of Mr. Baker’s work. This particular design incorporates timeless, elegant architecture with cozy family-oriented areas to enjoy. Upon entering through the double mahogany doors, you are greeted by a magnificent foyer with stately columns, intricately designed marble floors and fabulous 32’ high grand rotunda. On opposite sides of the foyer, you find a full mahogany walled study with a fireplace, built-in bookcases, hidden closets and across from that a banquet sized dining room that includes a large closet that provides easy access to all your entertaining needs. The remaining first floor consists of a huge and elegantly appointed living room with a gas log fireplace, heavy moldings and a wall of windows overlooking the expansive patio (1,650 sq ft to include gazebo) and golf course views; a large remodeled kitchen with 2 dishwashers, and a separate sub zero freezer and refrigerator; bar area, breakfast/morning room, den with wormy cypress paneling throughout and 18’ vaulted ceilings and includes built-in bookcases and stone fireplace extending the full 18’ height with gas logs.
