Ann Sacks, Jonathan Adler, and Pierre Frey highlight the original character preserved with detailed millwork, intricate moldings, leaded glass windows, oversized entryways, and a breathtaking statement staircase anchoring the center of the home. Basket weave marble foyer floors lead to formal rooms flooded with natural light including a solarium-like office with skylights, stoic living room with restored beams, built-ins & FP, and oversized dining room opening to the magnificent great room that serves as the social centerpiece of the home. Huge sun-drenched family room with artisan tile surround FP flows into the Chef's kitchen with massive quartzite island, Wolf & SubZero appliances, Holly Hunt pendants & entire wall of windows overlooking the professionally designed outdoor entertaining spaces. Separate breakfast areas opens to French doors that lead to a private terrace deck overlooking just completed hardscape patio, fire pit gathering circle & multiple lounging/dining areas.
