Behind The Design

The home feels modern but rooted—an intentional retreat that embraces the island setting while welcoming family for generations to come.

This three-level home balances openness with intimacy. The main level includes a primary suite, den, kitchen, and living spaces that connect to a screened porch and roof deck.

Seamless Connection

Upon entering, you’re greeted by an airy open floor plan—The grand staircase rises to your right while straight ahead, the dining area, wine rack, dry bar, living space, and kitchen unfold in a seamless, stunning view. 

Tucked at the back of the kitchen is a private office, and at the edge, a doorway leads to the deck, complete with an outdoor kitchen designed for effortless entertaining.

Quiet Luxury

As you move down the hall, a row of stunning SKLO sconces leads you into a serene lounge area. Farther along, the mudroom and powder bath provide seamless, easy access to the elevator.

Or take the scenic route up the grand, floating steel staircase—a sculptural moment of luxury leading you to the upper level.
