The 5.8-acre property also includes guest suites and "generous staff accommodations," the listing says, allowing the opportunity for a "multi-generational compound."

Let's take a virtual tour of the property, starting with the first floor of the main home.

21 Vista Drive was originally constructed in 1939 and has since undergone several additions and renovations.

Potential buyers will likely be "split down the middle" on whether they choose to renovate or rebuild the current home, Johnson said.
