Lushly secluded on sweeping grounds, this timeless, understatedly elegant residence is at one with the landscape and adds visual vitality to the clean lines in a design that lends itself to both large-scale entertaining and intimate everyday living. Set off by a dramatic fireplace, the soaring south-facing living room is brightened by floor-to-ceiling window walls bringing in nature’s sylvan beauty and opening to a garden terrace in a series of outdoor living spaces. Overlooking the living room is the loft-style dining room. An expansive first-floor wing hosts the primary bedroom suite featuring a sitting room with fireplace. This meticulously maintained home has an elevator, a generator and sophisticated HVAC system.
