Villa Serena boasts a 1900 Blutner Grand piano in the living room. The property offers deluxe service and full staff including butler service. A flood-lit landscaped park, about 2,000 square feet, surrounds the estate. 1,000 Feet of exclusive lake shoreline including a private dock with courtesy outboard-powered "Lucia" boat at guest disposal.
