The main living room is an expansive space, with high, beamed ceilings, wooden floors, and floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides of the room. At one end of the room is a huge stone fireplace, although the size of the room almost dwarfs it.
Another notable room on the property’s main level is the large kitchen. Although all the appliances and fittings are modern, it retains a traditional style that is in keeping with the rest of the property. The wall cabinetry is the same shade of wood as the ceiling beams and flooring, while the countertops around the sides of the room are white. In contrast, the cabinetry in the kitchen island is white with natural wood countertops. In the main house, there are five bedrooms. The master suite is on the second floor, and it boasts double doors leading to a private balcony that overlooks the grounds and offers views of the surrounding area. Its en suite has a deep, circular soaking tub and wooden cabinetry on two walls with a sink in each.
The Stunning Grounds of the Property
Levine’s new home sits on a plot of 5.16-acres that consists of terraces, manicured gardens, entertaining spaces, and additional structures. Therefore, there are many options for ways to utilize the outdoor space. There are tall gates that open to a long driveway that is lined with mature oak trees and passes through a mini-forest and manicured lawns to the front of the property. To the property’s rear, there is a terrace immediately behind the property that leads onto a huge manicured lawn that is surrounded by mature trees for privacy. At the far end of the garden, a large swimming pool is surrounded by tall hedges and lemon trees that separate the pool area from the rest of the garden. Steps lead from the lawn, through the hedge, and down to the pool, which is lined with both grass and stone tiles.

Overall, the ground’s structures boast four bedrooms in addition to the main property’s five bedrooms.
