Built to impress & known for its elegance, the home sits on the highest elevation on an acre of land overlooking WPF & Pace Academy. As you ascend the gated drive up to your home, notice the slight variation in stone color. Constructed w/ darker stone at the base so not to allow staining & lighter stone as the view reaches the gabled roofs is just one architectural detail.
