Interior design by Zoe Feldman, featured in Architectural Digest, creates inviting spaces that are both intimate and welcoming. Landscaping and hardscaping by Fritz & Gignoux has transformed the gardens into a seasonal paradise, featuring a storybook front garden and a flat rear lawn surrounded by blooming garden beds and native trees.

The elegant dining room features a telescoping mahogany table that accommodates twelve (most furniture is for sale), complemented by a magnificent chandelier and rich silk drapes. The main-floor bedroom suite, currently an office, overlooks lush gardens and is ideal for guests. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a hall bathroom. There is ample storage and an attic fan providing natural cooling. The private primary suite features custom closets, built-in bookshelves, a romantic fireplace, and a luxurious spa-like bath with radiant heat flooring. The renovated English basement includes an Au Pair/MIL suite, a spacious art studio with backyard access, and a recreation room with a wood-burning fireplace. There is a newly renovated table tennis room with French doors, and a laundry room and utility space. The backyard boasts a private stone terrace with an Italianate fountain - perfect for entertaining. Additional features include a whole-property irrigation system, path lighting, a wooden shed for refuse/recycling, and an Invisible Fence for dogs.
