Located on a 3.8-acre lot—one of the largest in Weston—the 14,294-square-foot home has 10 bedrooms and 9 1/2 bathrooms, making it ideal for large, active families, and plenty of houseguests as well.

A winding drive passes manicured landscaping to arrive at the sprawling residence, complete with a welcoming porte-cochère. Stepping inside the double doors reveals soaring two-story tall ceilings, glistening columns, gleaming marble floors, and a huge living room accented by a massive fireplace, with direct access to the pool area beyond.
