In addition, the house has an elevator, high-end appliances, designer lighting and inside/outside fireplaces made from Icelandic volcanic stone, the listing says.

The listing’s photos are attractive with its staging. And believe us, we’ve seen some nicely-staged places. The home has a neutral palette that could be easily modified for any taste, but it’s not bland, as you so often see in homes staged for sale.

We’re always on the lookout for homes that have a special something. This one has it -- whatever that is -- in spades. It’s a kind of calm, warmth and elegance that doesn’t just come from luxe amenities around every bend. Take a look through the photos. Do you like this one, too?
