Taking full advantage of a nearly 30,000 square foot lot, the extensive grounds include inviting terraces, gardens, swimming pool, magnificent trees, and a large, luxurious, completely equipped guest house above the garages. Smart home technology includes a premium Crestron Total Home Technology System with ISYS LCD touch panels that control climate, satellite televisions, a home sound system, Lutron lighting, and security cameras.

L
uxuriously appointed interiors designed for a sophisticated lifestyle offer large, classically
proportioned rooms enhanced with handchiseled limestone and mahogany plank or parquetry floors, plastered walls and ceilings, masonry fireplaces, and engaging trompe l’oeil. Tall mahogany and glass doors provide serene outdoor vistas in rooms that transition seamlessly into one another, creating excellent flow for entertaining.
T
he double height foyer opens into a wide central gallery that
travels past the living room to the dining room and brick wine room. In the enormous living room, massive boxed beams soar 12 feet above a Versailles patterned mahogany floor and deeply carved stone fireplace. A groin vault vestibule with access to the wine room announces the graciously appointed, light filled dining room ornamented with a recessed, trompe l’oeil ceiling. From the dining room, a pivot door accesses the butler’s pantry that also serves as a well equipped bar. The adjoining planning station has bead board cabinetry, an elevated work desk with green slab onyx countertop, and custom designed storage.
T
he professionally equipped, open kitchen is designed to please discriminating cooks, gourmands and anyone who appreciates sumptuous surroundings. A mahogany floor,
rich beveled granite surfaces, furniture quality cabinetry, carved stone range hood, and polished limestone backsplash inlaid with Portuguese tile create an inviting gathering space ideal for relaxed entertaining. Stainless steel appliances include Viking ovens, cooktop, warming drawer, and microwave; full-sized SubZero refrigerator and freezer; a Waterstone chef’s faucet with hose sprayer; and a Blanco boxed sink. A cabinet encloses a Miele coffee system. The large island features hidden storage, pull-up seating, a designated recycling bin and garbage receptacles, and pull-out spice racks. The kitchen opens to the large den that includes a breakfast alcove, a stone fireplace with flat brick surround, built-in wire front display cabinets, and access to the elevator floored in Rhombille patterned mahogany tile. A drop zone and return staircase hall behind the den features bead board wardrobes and a paneled SubZero freezer.
A
t the opposing end of the central gallery, a handchiseled, jacquard patterned limestone floor banded in mahogany announces the master suite, secluded in
its own wing. The wing includes a paneled library with a vaulted ceiling, floor-to-ceiling book and display cases, mahogany floor, and a stone fireplace. A short hall leads to the serene master bedroom enhanced by a beamed ceiling, mahogany floor, stone fireplace, and mahogany doors that open to the garden pergola and the pool. The master bathroom features a recessed ceiling with Segreto painted panel; a pair of antique trumeau mirrors; Rainforest slab marble surfaces; disappearing edge marble vessel sinks; Jason jetted tub; Kohler steam shower with multiple sprays; a dressing table; seeded glass front cabinets; and an enclosed water closet. Master closets feature mahogany cabinetry with mirrored wardrobes, marble countertops, and built-in chests-ofdrawers; one closet provides a bench with a built in steamer.
T
he main staircase landing transitions up a short staircase into the spacious gameroom,
where arched glass and mahogany doors access a wide slate balcony that overlooks the pool and gardens. Beneath a custom designed fiber optic ceiling, the gameroom features radius walls with a sound-absorbing clay wall finish and a walk-in travertine clad bar with icemaker, wine chiller, and porcelain bar sink. En suite secondary bedrooms are lavishly appointed with raised beamed ceilings and custom-fitted walk-in closets. Their individual bathrooms provide a selection of marble, slate and designer tile accents and 17th or 18th century French commodes and mirrors. The sixth bedroom includes a loft and has a raised beamed ceiling, walk-in closet, and priority access to a hall bathroom. Presently in use as a gym, the finished third floor has elevator access and flatscreen television wiring, and features an open floorplan with gym area, a stage, and an inner balcony overlooking “the studio� on the second floor.
