The dining room:

And the kitchen, with its breakfast bar:

The family room, with access to the backyard:

There are five bedrooms. Here’s one of them:

Big selling point

For anyone worried about traversing the house’s four storeys, there is an elevator, which should make carrying in groceries (not to mention moving furniture) a whole lot easier:

Meanwhile, security-conscious buyers may appreciate the fact that there are 12 outdoor cameras monitoring the property.

Possible deal breaker

Some would consider eight bathrooms—seriously, eight—to be overkill. The owners will probably want to hire some cleaning help, but at least there won’t be any fights over shower time in the morning:
