Set on an expansive flat lot at 4511 Hayvenhurst Avenue, the seven-bedroom, the seven-and-a-half-bath estate has been artfully designed with opulent materials, high ceilings, white oak flooring, and a full array of luxurious amenities.

Dining and living room spaces are lightly separated by a dramatic freestanding black quartz fireplace wall, with a full bar and wine storage wall nearby.
