Custom-built in 2001, this iconic home is perfectly set on its 1.4-acre ravine property. With a walk-out finished lower level, a green house and a heated 4-car garage, it's a rare find! It has an impressive pedigree: designed & custom-built by for the current owners by noted architect / builder Rick Swanson, with the landscape & hardscape designed, built and maintained by award-winning Mariani Landscape, it combines the timeless craftsmanship of a North Shore estate with the modern technology and lower maintenance of newer construction.

The walkout lower level adds over 3,000 sf of living space and features a huge Rec Room opening to a private patio area overlooking a ravine., a large bar / kitchenette and fireplace, a spacious exercise room, a game area, a full bath and multiple storage rooms.
