This stately, column-free home offers a magnificent corner living room of 26'x19' with adjacent library and eat-in kitchen.
Expertly designed interiors by Foster Partners include a top-of-the-line kitchen by Molteni with beveled Blanco de Macael marble countertops and natural oak cabinetry, French-inspired oak herringbone wood floors, custom cove lighting in the foyer, detailed millwork and deep thresholds throughout.
A gracious master bedroom features a fully finished dressing room with extensive custom millwork by Foster Partners, a luxurious master bathroom oasis with double door entry, a freestanding tub, radiant heated Luna Black granite floors and a custom Corian vanity with integrated lighting.

With rich materials throughout, this exceptional home offers rooms that are akin to a more elegant era, reinterpreted through the architect's modernist sensibility: French-inspired oak herringbone floors frame these distinctive spaces while luminous metal reveals and a deep facade for perimeter seating border each panoramic view.
