According to Realtor.com, owners Katie and Greg Knowles purchased the home in 2009 and customized it for 18 months. Greg is a music producer, so that explains the studio. Katie wanted the pool available year-round, so that’s why it’s indoors and heated. As for the Oval Office replica, she said the architect suggested the office design and the couple just went for it.
