The central gambrel form draws you into a grand entry, its domed ceiling illuminating graceful double stairs that frame the intricate marble floor inlay.

Curved mahogany doors disappear into hidden wall pockets; the greatest challenge being the flush stone sill to allow for uninterrupted flow from indoors to out.

Three-inch thick mahogany arched wooden doors open to a private gallery, glowing from the gold-toned walls and colorful floral paintings. Ahead, a richly-appointed office has cherry built-ins, faux painted “leather” and cherry coffer ceiling, and black Italian marble fireplace.
