The spacious 5 Bedroom / 4.1 Bathroom home was built in 1957 and designed by Herbert Banse, a noted architect and apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright and was fondly named "Out of Bounds" due to its signature location.

Inside you will find Old World detail, moldings, built-ins, beechwood paneling, oak flooring, walls of windows and patios showcasing the views overlooking the gardens, sweeping yard, and golf course.
