Stunning hardwood floors enhance the home’s refined aesthetic, while thoughtful storage abounds throughout. Off the living room, a private balcony provides a peaceful spot for morning coffee, while a spiral staircase leads down to a custom patio terrace, perfect for entertaining or unwinding in the fresh air. The lower-level primary suite is a breathtaking retreat, featuring original 1940s stone walls, two full bathrooms, and his-and-hers dressing rooms. Two sets of French doors open to the meticulously landscaped gardens, filling the space with natural light and serene views. The massive library is a showstopper, lined with built-in shelving and offering French door access to a terrace—ideal for an afternoon of reading or quiet reflection. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a beautifully updated full bath.
