Against a glorious backdrop of velvety lawns, gardens and stately trees, this breathtakingly new residence of stucco with a slate capped roof suggests a feeling of permanence, substance and quality akin to those grand houses built by American industrialists. The approach, marked by iron gates with an intricately fashioned archway, leads to a grand courtyard and impressive porte-cochere bracketed by illuminated fountains. On the east lawn, a forty-five foot swimming pool with heated spa is framed by a wall of exotic bamboo.
A true inspiration that evokes a sense of awe, the great gallery hall has vistas extending sixty feet across and nearly thirty feet high. Magnificent windows beautifully counterpoint the generous flow of public and private rooms leading beyond French doors to verandas and balconies. Seven significant fireplaces, Brazilian cherry wood inlay floors, and elaborate custom millwork are fashioned with European overtones. Exceptional gourmet appointments accentuate a wonderfully scaled kitchen and butler’s pantry. Three key serving areas support every occasion, a handsome mahogany bar on the main level, a 1,000 bottle wine cellar-tasting room plus another built in bar adjoining the lower level billiards room and theatre.
An elegant “butterfly” staircase is a dramatic prelude for five suites. A light-filled master bedroom with balcony view, a private sitting room with garden terrace, outfitted dressing rooms, and two opulent master baths featuring such luxuries as a working fireplace, deliver sumptuous comfort in the master suite. Three generous en suite bedrooms are equally appointed with refined luxury and uncommon detail. The fifth bedroom is conveniently located on the main floor, ideal for a staff or nanny’s quarters, close to the kitchen and hallway with elevator access to all three floors.
Ushering in a new elegance of today, this exciting North Street property is an experience to be savored and appreciated for generations to come.
