This home has been described as,
Designed in 1915 by one of the most prestigious and prolific architectural firms, Marston and Van Pelt, this historical two story seventeen room Palladian Villa has been extraordinarily restored to the beauty and refinement of its time. Two additional levels complete the residence and include a media room, gym and wine cellar on the lower level and an office/bedroom and bathroom on the upper level. Classical architectural elements were adapted to local history and climate creating a Mediterranean style home complete with Palladian windows, Italian terra cotta tile roof and side loggias. The stunning design, luxurious materials and environmental beauty promote living at its best. In 1997, the residence was masterfully restored ensuring authenticity and unmatched integrity including the replacement of all mechanical systems. Cloistered behind a gated entry, the home is located at the end of a 100-yard driveway. Magnificent gardens encompass inspiring and tranquil spaces.
