Spacious rooms laid out in an open floor plan create a bold impression from the start. The gated, wrap-around yard includes tile paths, extensive landscaping, a sitting area with decorative benches, a large deck, and a driveway which accommodates two vehicles, accessed by an electric gate.

The elegant foyer boasts a gold-painted chandelier and paneled columns, and flows easily to the living and dining rooms beyond. These rooms are graced with a marble fireplace, exquisite silk dupioni drapes beneath foliate finial rods, and a brilliant wrought iron and crystal chandelier.

A beautifully appointed bathroom beneath the front stairwell bears walls painted in a harlequin design, a granite counter and gentle lighting.

Windowed pocket doors slide open to reveal the kitchen, sun room, and breakfast area.

The sun room is spacious enough to serve as a second family living area. Bordered in windows on three sides, the room seems to be nestled in the garden flowers. The generous gourmet kitchen is designed with granite tops, custom pickled cabinets and a walk-in patnry. Stainless appliances include a six-burner Viking Professional stove, JennAir double oven with dual convection, GE Monogram refrigerator, Kitchen Aid microwave, Bosch dishwasher, and a double sink.

More paneled columns bracket the entranceway to the vast den which encompasses a row of picture windows overlooking the side garden, a granite-top wet bar with a display cabinet and circular sink, a fireplace with an ornate stone mantle, two custom entertainment centers also fashioned from pickled cabinetry, and sliding French doors opening onto the deck.

Accessed via a second stairwell from the den, the grand master suite is accented with custom silk balloon shades on every window. French doors open onto a generous private balcony which offers exterior lighting and overlooks the gardens.

A large walk-in closet houses custom storage shelves, racks, and drawers.

Another set of French doors opens to the extensively renovated bathroom, equipped with an oversized shower, oversized tub with whirlpool shoots, and a ceramic tile floor.

The master suite adjoins the handsome second bedroom with a magnificent hand-blown glass and iron chandelier, a smaller version of which hangs in the hall bathroom.

The third bedroom is filled with sunlight and also overlooks the gardens. It offers an entire wall of shuttered closets, and a chair rail accent.

The fourth bedroom offers floor-to-ceiling windows with plantation shutters, silk drapes and custom valances, and a hand-painted wood and marble fireplace.

The guest room is comfortably appointed with plantation shutters, silk drapes, natural wood floors, a full bath, and a large storage area.

The deck is partially covered with a canvas canopy, and is bordered in a lattice work rail. Iron sconces are wired for exterior lighting and a large Oriental ceiling fan cools the area. The deck perfectly accommodates a stainless GE Monogram¨ outdoor grill, which also remains.
