The couple purchased the property in June 2021 for $6.85 million, after which they had it extensively renovated.
Jim Markham designed the bathroom with optimal lighting, luxurious seating and all the essentials to create a salon-ready space, perfect for luxurious grooming and preparation.
“As an entrepreneur, I approach every project with innovation and the highest level of professionalism,” he said.
“Building this house was no different. I am proud of the work we have done and it reflects the dedication and quality that I strive for in all my undertakings.”
