It is an incredible blending of imagination, architectural genius, and nature with art, storytelling, and style and yes, perhaps a bit of magic. 8220 Narrows Avenue, known by historians as The Gingerbread House, is one of the most beautiful homes in America. Fluid, graceful, and authentic, a coveted treasure for you and for generations to come.

This huge compound, a standalone 5746SF estate, occupies an entire block and sits atop a magnificently manicured lot the equivalent of 10 townhomes (20,000SF). Inside its walls is pure country manor elegance translated by 4 main bedrooms 2 guest bedrooms, exquisite central staircase, 3.5 baths, wine cellar, office or screening room, terraces, fountain room, double living rooms, formal dining room, and a master chefs kitchen.

This is what the phrase one of a kind really means. It simply is. magical. Viewing requires financial pre-screening. Finally, Welcome Home !!
