The Main Level Approached by a gated horseshoe-shaped drive, the entrance to the manor is through a columned portico with imposing wrought-iron and glass doors. The foyer welcomes with a groin vaulted ceiling and a grand double staircase. Flanking the foyer is a handsome mahogany library with coffered ceiling and a lovely formal dining room with butler’s pantry. Beyond the main foyer and central corridor lies the great room. The centerpiece of the house, its dramatic 37-foot arched ceiling crowns a bay of Palladian windows, travertine and marble fireplace, marble floors, and rich architectural details. There are several conversation areas, a lavish club-style bar, and French doors to the rear garden. Adjacent to the great room is the spectacular kitchen. A chef’s dream with top of the line appliances, custom cabinetry, granite countertops, the kitchen transitions to a dining area and a comfortable family room with fireplace and access to the rear garden. Anchoring the home’s southern wing is an octagonal conservatory with a hand-painted ceiling. The main level also offers a mud room, two powder rooms, a generous guest suite, elevator, and access to the garage.
Unparalleled in its symmetry, elegance, and grandeur, this French-inspired manor has been built to the highest level of construction standards and features state-of-the-art automated technology
The Upstairs Quarters A long hallway leads to five luxurious bedroom suites on the second floor. The sumptuous owner’s suite, entered through a vestibule, has a muraled ceiling and French doors opening to an elegant sitting room. Completing the owner’s suite is a vast, spa-like bathroom and two dressing rooms with custom-designed closets. All the remaining bedrooms have en suite bathrooms, walk-in closets, high ceilings, and oversized windows. This level also includes a laundry room and ample storage areas. A finished, fourth level traversing the length of the house could accommodate additional bedrooms or recreation space.
The Entertaining and Recreation Level The ground level houses a state-of-the-art leisure and entertainment complex. The private gym has a fitness studio, a spa with steam showers, sauna, full bathroom, and hot and cold plunge pools. A hardwood floored hall leads to the main recreation area, with a sitting room and large Adirondack-style stone fireplace, a billiards area, and a cozy pub with beer taps. The 15-seat movie theater has a 120-inch projection screen, digital surround-sound system, and built-in, custom-designed leather chairs. Next door is a magnificent 2,000-bottle, temperature-controlled wine cellar with wrought-iron framed glass doors. This level also includes staff quarters with a full bathroom, a hidden safe room, laundry, and an egress to the garden.
The Ground and Gardens Two acres of resplendent grounds are graced with specimen plantings and flowers, boxwood hedges, rock formations, and pristine lawns. The rear garden is a resort-inspired retreat with a luxurious gunite pool with spa and fountains, and a cabana. A covered outdoor kitchen with seating area is on hand for cookouts and alfresco dining. Enhancing the pastoral scene is a limestone and copper domed gazebo, tiered fountain, lampposts, two fire pits, stone paths, as well as vegetable and herb gardens.
