An Old World-inspired, climate-controlled wine cellar accommodating more than 800 bottles is joined by a custom home theater featuring a 102-inch screen, acoustic fabric walls, and luxurious leather lounge seating.

Separate guest quarters feature a bedroom, living area, kitchenette, and full bath, offering privacy and comfort for family and guests.
