Approached by a sweeping cobblestone drive, this Benno Janssen–designed estate commands attention with its symmetrical red brick façade and dormered wings framed by sculpted trees. Expansive lawns and a broad open field set the home in a park-like landscape. A two bedroom carriage house completes the grounds. Inside the foyer, French limestone flooring with marble inlays, flows throughout most of the main level. The light-filled living room is anchored by herringbone parquet floors and French doors to the gardens, while the paneled office and arched loggia connect to the great room, with a hidden bar and pool terrace. The bright kitchen offers generous white cabinetry, marble counters and an open area for dining & seating. The primary suite includes a sitting room, marble bath and dressing room, with three additional en suite bedrooms. The lower level offers a gym, wine cellar & media space. Outdoors, the pool terrace, circular stone firepit, lawns & gardens create a private retreat.
