A onetime residence of the legendary John Saladino, the sprawling property reverberates with the interior designer's seminal style. From French doors that perfectly frame garden views to classical columns that punctuate the sparkling swimming pool, the home's meticulously planned layout remains true to Saladino's philosophy of uniting interior and exterior spaces. Impeccably designed and built in the 1960s by John W. Bancroft and architect Hugh M. O'Connell, Jr., the residence is hailed for its sightlines.
