This most spectacular home took 100 years of acquired character, a world-class team of architects, artists, and craftsmen, and a dedicated owner with the vision and pocketbook to create such an extraordinary home.
The entire interior of the home was reimagined by architect Stan Dixon and brought to life by builder Rich Sokolowski just a few years ago.
Exquisite craftsmanship and the highest quality materials are far above and beyond ordinary throughout the home, inspired by the owners’ years of traveling around the world.. Hand-troweled plaster walls and ceilings and artisan-forged iron railings are just the beginning.
MAIN LEVEL – The gracious foyer is your first glimpse of the sculptural staircase which is better experienced from the top. The fireside living room features twin doors leading to a bright sun porch with access to the ivy trimmed patio and garden.
The kitchen is simply fabulous, with a Lacanche range at the centerpiece of creamy white custom cabinets surrounding a massive center island with a farm sink and seating. White brick accent walls contrast the plaster walls and stained wood floors, and a butlers pantry with a cookbook nook provide a glimpse into the home’s historic past. Off the family room is one of the most coveted and unique spaces – and that is really saying something! The scullery is the entertaining hub of the home, with rustic wood cabinetry, unique counter tops with custom cut edges and bowtie accents, and tables to provide the perfect place to serve food and drinks. Garden – Built for indoor-outdoor entertaining with doors that accordion out of the way for unfettered access to the Charleston style garden designed by John Howard. Outside is like something out of a fairy tale! A central stone patio is flanked by an outdoor kitchen with another smaller patio. The sound of water falling into the garden fountain sets the mood as you ascend to the outdoor living room. This cozy fireside space is lit by flickering gas lanterns and sheltered from the elements, and is equally suited to a romantic dinner for two or open the home to the garden for a perfect entertainment space.
Second Level – Features 2 unique primary suites and a 3rd bedroom. A large bedroom with vaulted beamed ceilings, 2 dressing rooms and ensuite bath. The other suite has an attached office, enormous closet, and TWO full baths. This space can easily be split to create another bedroom space if needed.
TOP FLOOR – The kiddos will love the “grandchildren’s floor”, the former attic feels like it was designed just for them (because it was!). Story-book spaces and a petite bunk-room and full bath provide a great hideout for kids and grandkids alike.
GUEST WING – The guest wing is a separate private living space where guests can relax and enjoy a glass of wine or savory meal prepared in the full kitchenette. Brimming with character and historic charm, each sunny bedroom has high ceilings and an ensuite bath with unique finishes.
TERRACE LEVEL – Here you will find original brick walls with built-in wine storage. A modern gym features comfortable rubber flooring and a wall of mirrors. A large storage space is hidden behind custom wooden barn doors.
