The home, designed by its original designer/architect owners, is nestled in the trees, on a sloping half acre lot, and offers the ultimate in privacy and serenity.

The gated stone-paved driveway leads to the home’s entrance. Upon entering the home, views of the classic oval pool, terrace and wood perimeter are seen through the large floor to ceiling window in the limestone tiled foyer. Directly ahead one enters the spectacular living room with multiple windows and French doors on three sides. The oversized antique stone fireplace anchors the room, and the room’s proportions allow for multiple seating areas. With vast expanses of walls, 11 ½ foot ceilings, and excellent lighting, this room was designed with an art collection in mind. Also found just off the entry is a lovely powder room as well as a large coat closet.

The combined kitchen/family room is nearby, and is truly the heart of the home. The kitchen is classically equipped with Carerra marble countertops and clean white square tiled backsplashes. A 5’x7’ stainless steel topped center island offers additional workspace, sink, and comfortable eating area. Sleek white cabinets, Sub Zero refrigerator and freezer, Bosch dishwasher, 48” Thermador cooktop, and icemaker make this a cook’s dream kitchen.

Two stairways access the upstairs living areas. The first is found off the entry, and second off the family room.

The 21’ x 21’ library with four walls of floor to ceiling bookshelves, and perforate windows on two sides, begs one to sit in the quiet and muse upon a book.
