Commissioned by a prominent wine merchant, it showcases original stained glass"”including a rare Bacchus panel"”elliptical transoms, heart of pine floors, and intricate woodwork throughout. A climate-controlled attic with loft and hidden passage crowns the home. Behind its gated entry lies a pool, jacuzzi, and guest house with a two-car garage"”ideally located near the Post Office District and The Strand.
