Residence

A wonderful Georgian-style six-bedroom estate, with 8,125 /- total square feet, presents as the epitome of understated elegance, paring sophisticated clean-line decorator detailing with impactful eye-catching allure. The stunning renovation, conducted by designer Angela Reynolds, built upon an open floor plan with refinements that include coffered ceilings, bespoke molding, and new wide-plank wood floors. In the elegant foyer, the graceful curved staircase introduces a sense of drama, and the adjacent salon, an intimate formal living area, is crowned by a coffered ceiling, and centers around a gas fireplace.

The gourmet kitchen is fitted with handsome black-and-white-checkered marble flooring, professional-grade appliances, bespoke custom cabinetry, Calacatta-gold marble counters, and a center island topped in pewter. Just adjacent, the luxurious family room, which is highlighted by an impressive marble-embellished gas fireplace, features a beamed ceiling, built-in bar, and banks of arched French doors that lead out to the expansive back yard.
