Situated on over an acre of land, this custom-built home boasts nearly five thousand square feet of living space. The three bedroom, three bathroom structure is made up of pitched ceiling beams, wood floors, and walls of glass to frame the 360 degree city and treetop views. Along with a top-of-the-line Chef's kitchen, the home has been designed with granite countertops, wood cabinets, a master suite with walk-in closets, a screening room, a media room, and a private gym that doubles as a maid's quarters.
