The property consists of a 17,000 square foot modern estate with seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms and an additional 6,000 square foot, two bedroom guest house.

The guest house had been built in 1931, and after plans to knock it down caused an uproar with preservationists, Mr Miller moved it from one side of the property to the other.

Mr Miller's son David Miller and David Solomon, both of Berkshire Hathaway HomeService EWM Realty were involved in the off-market deal.

The builder was Todd Michael Glaser and Domo Architecture + Design were the designers. 

Interior design was undertaken by Dunagan Diverio Design Group.
