Architectural Grandeur and Sophisticated Interiors

Behind an impressive motor court, the home reveals an interior marked by a generosity of proportion rarely found in modern construction. An expansive entryway and central gallery hallway set an immediate tone of luxury with gleaming marble floors.

Three sets of nearly floor-to-ceiling French doors and custom shelving comprise the far wall, flooding the room with natural light. A substantial stone fireplace commands the space, while the large paned glass doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and the resort-like grounds beyond.

• Refined Detailing: Decorative wallpapers distinguish several rooms throughout the floor plan, while dramatic design statements and architectural flourishes add an expressive, European-inspired touch to the home's voluminous interior.
