A stunning Archimedean spiral staircase with oak risers and a cast iron filigree banister opens to a circular skylight, which allows abundant natural light to flood into the center of the home. Grand windows, astounding room proportions, and soaring ceilings throughout the residence create a bright, airy feel.

Impeccable home finishes include an exterior facade built of the finest Indiana limestone, walnut hardwood flooring, Calacatta marble countertops, and extensive custom millwork.
