It is listed at $14,100,000. The interior is very well done. I love all of the finishes. I’m really loving the foyer. It’s not your typical “Mcmansion” type of foyer. I love how you don’t come face to face with a staircase right when you walk in; instead your eye is drawn upwards to the beautiful balconies with wrought iron railings. Simply spectacular! I also love how the refrigerator/freezers are separate from the rest of the kitchen.
