An exceptional expression of timeless elegance and architectural grandeur, this distinguished Tuscan estate commands an elevated 1.66-acre setting along one of the most coveted streets in South Fairbanks Ranch. Encompassing over 8,444 square feet, the residence is a testament to grand-scale living, ...refined sophistication, and enduring architectural distinction. Stately 12-foot wood and glass double doors introduce a dramatic two-story foyer with a view of a 30-foot waterfall, where soaring ceilings, sweeping archways, four custom fireplaces, and walls of windows create an atmosphere of understated luxury.
