Catering to the automotive aficionado, an 11-car garage on the lower level presents boundless opportunities to create the ultimate show garage or entertainment venue. A versatile office is also featured on this level and includes a bath and kitchenette. Ascend to the rooftop deck by stairs or elevator and enjoy a fireplace, newer glass surrounds, newer above-ground spa, built-in BBQ, and dining area surrounded by breathtaking vistas.
