The place

A detached new-build with high ceilings and a transitional-style facade.

The history

The sellers bought this property three years ago, then tore down a pre-existing house and built this one in its place. It comes with top-of-the-line kitchen appliances and a four-car underground garage.

The foyer floor is porcelain tile:
