This exquisite, French Provincial style residence sets the scene for opulent entertaining and serene, luxury living in an elite location. Constructed from solid, hand cut limestone, designed by Phillip Mannerheim and built by Domain Prestige Homes, no detail has been overlooked in this beautiful home inspired by the famous Petit Palais art museum in Paris.

Beyond its impressive façade and authentic slate roof, a grand entry features a flared geometrical staircase, curving towards a vaulted ceiling with decorative skylight and French lantern chandelier.
