Classic lines and contemporary finishes combine to create an elegant home with warmth and charm. The dramatic two-story entry is dominated by an open, butterfly staircase flanked by room-sized foyer/galleries. White oak, random width floors, railings and trim plus soaring ceilings and windows add to the overall openness and brightness of the home. The sunken living room features a fireplace hearth and mantel faced with Travertine marble, which blends elegantly with the white oak floors. A double-story tray ceiling and towing windows at one end of the room that blow out above the deck and pool create a delightfully bright and spacious room. A formal dining room lies three steps up from the living room on one side, and a warm family room with floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace lies on the other side.

The kitchen is pristine with its floor-to-ceiling wood-mode white cabinetry. A gourmet cooking island stands at the center of the room. At the end of the kitchen, with two doors leading to the deck, is a Four Season greenhouse dining area. The master bedroom suite, with Travertine marble repeated in the bath, walk-in closets and white oak spiral staircase to a balcony study, is also located on the main floor. A library with floor-to-ceiling bookcases, two powder rooms and generous closet space complete the first floor.
