The mansion was built in 2012. It belonged to Dr. Wilbur “Ed” – a renowned mathematician and former NASA contractor, is co-founder and chairman of Quantlab – and Marie Bosarge. The acclaimed architect and interior designer David Easton was responsible for the opulent interior design and created a modern neoclassical property with an impressionistic French style. There are eight bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, four half baths, two full apartments, a movie theatre, and an attached four-car garage spanning two floors on a 2.5-acre lot.

The grand archway is surrounded by historical architecture, hand-selected marble tiles, an ornate floral chandelier, and a hand-painted domed tall ceiling. Swaths of marble, soaring ceilings and towering columns run along artisanal millwork with surrounding warm fireplaces and hand-painted details.
