The six-bedroom home boasts a stately brick-and-slate exterior, with window balconies and a double-door entrance tucked behind four soaring marble columns. Carving out its fair share of the more than 11,000 square feet in the home, the foyer has coffered ceilings and an elaborate mural that looms above a double-helix staircase.

Marina Davis of Laffey Fine Homes has the listing.
