Unique Home of Luxury and Legacy

Built in 1900 by Colonel McDonald, this historic home faces a park dedicated in his memory after he lost his life in World War II.

In 2021, the home was fully renovated, carefully preserving its historical character while introducing the comforts of modern living. The result is a seamless blend of timeless charm and contemporary luxury, all within a central location that makes it easy to explore and enjoy the area.

This residence is more than just a house—it is a story of history, love, and renewal, offering a rare opportunity to live where the past and present meet in perfect harmony.
