Set on over two acres along the most prestigious street in the area, this residence offers an unparalleled blend of history, elegance..., and recreation. The centerpiece of this property is an oversized indoor sports sanctuary, designed for the ultimate sports professional or enthusiast.

Inside, the spacious residence boasts a beautifully updated kitchen, a luxurious master en-suite, and elegant living and dining spaces.
