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.
