Combination of tile, hardwood and cork flooring throughout. Lower-level game room and fabulous wine cellar. Gas hot water heat and central air conditioning. Beautiful tile roof and copper gutters. This estate sets on nearly an acre of land in the heart of GPF. Private walled grounds with a full size (gated) pool in a very private setting.
