The impressive brick house, built in 1950, is nestled on a .61 acre-lot behind a gated entrance and circular driveway. Once inside, startling design elements surprise at every turn.
Some of the most intriguing details are found in the house's six full baths and three half baths. A trippy, psychedelic bathroom creates an optical illusion effect with paisley wallpaper and an ornate gold mirror mounted on a larger mirror in front of the sink.
Another bathroom has an Arabian theme, with wallpaper featuring camels, a desertscape and tassled tapestries, all of which make the room resemble the inside of a Bedouin tent offering shelter from the Saharan sun.
One of the home's several first-floor living areas has a fireplace and exposed beams on its vaulted ceilings. A formal living room features another fireplace and original, herringbone wood floors. Yet another shared space, dubbed "the great room" is 60 feet long and includes a wall of windows that offers views of the courtyard, greenhouse, garden and wine cellar.
The house also features multiple dining areas. And if the large main kitchen isn't enough, there's a catering kitchen as well. Plus who could forget the china closet, silver closet and walk-in pantries — yes, that's plural.
The large, secluded primary bedroom suite includes his and hers walk-in closets, a sitting room, a marble fireplace and access to the house's indoor exercise pool. A ceiling composed of glossy wooden planks and outfitted with multiple skylights rises above the pool.
Each of the house's five bedrooms has its own private bathroom. A guest suite located near the game rooms even has its own kitchenette and separate exterior entrance.
