Description
Masterful interior designer Jeffrey Alan Marks transformed this 1920s Georgian country house with a vibrant and sophisticated contemporary style. Generously sized, the 10,212+/- square foot residence offers a graceful flow between formal and informal spaces.
Introduced by fountained parterre garden, the foyer opens to a house that is warm and welcoming. Appointed with a fireplace, the formal living room with Venetian plaster ceiling opens through Dutch doors to a south-facing sunroom overlooking the lush, park-like grounds. The formal dining room with fireplace is clad in stunning, hand-painted De Gournay wallpaper. A spectacular kitchen and pantry by Plain English adjoins a lacquered butler’s pantry. French doors from the kitchen open to a bluestone patio and fenced herb garden. A stone fireplace warms the bright and airy breakfast room with dentil molding off the kitchen. From the breakfast room, the family room with built-in bookshelves, wet bar and fireplace opens through French doors to the back terrace. This floor also has two office spaces and a delightful screened-in porch.
The second floor has a loft, full bath, playroom, second family room, three en-suite bedrooms and a glamorous primary suite. Luxuriously appointed, the primary suite features a fireplace, sitting room, marble bathroom, exercise room and custom Plain English wardrobe room.
Secluded on 3.17 pastoral acres screened by trees, the house opens through multiple French doors to terraces around the house and the peaceful backyard with spa.
