The home is equipped with a $50,000 Control4 whole-home audio system, including integrated, ceiling-mounted home theater and individual room controls. Outdoor living is exceptional, highlighted by an approximately $100,000 Unilock paver patio with a 500,000 BTU natural gas fire pit and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen. Features include a Twin Eagles grill, stainless griddle, infrared burner, warming drawer, outdoor refrigerator and sink, Traeger grill, and a handcrafted Italian Alfa pizza oven valued at approximately $3,000.
