Brown house or redevelop the site entirely, the lot size easily accommodates a significant architectural expansion, a modern luxury estate, or a multi-structure compound. *Existing Infrastructure: The grounds currently feature a concrete pool and terraced gardens, providing a mature landscape foundation for new construction. *Historical Prestige: Located in Rocky Ridge Farm, one of the nation's first planned subdivisions designed by Dr. W.C.
