About this home

A truly special house, here's a Modernist classic designed by noted architect Samuel Glaser and renovated & expanded in recent years by the current owner, an interior designer. Such original features as natural stone, custom-built ins, distinct woodwork, + walls of glass combine with recent updates, resulting in an updated light-filled property. The enviable eat-in light-filled kitchen includes a 6-burner dual-fuel Viking gas range, a Subzero refrigerator, a Miele Speed Oven and dishwasher. Large sliding walnut doors open to reveal a pantry and more sliding doors open to a cleverly organized laundry alcove. The living and dining rooms share an open floor plan anchored by a stunning stone fireplace. The first floor also boasts a study and half bath. A luxurious 2013 master suite includes a fireplace and a spa-like bath. Another 2nd-floor bedroom has an en suite bath. The lower level includes a media room & guest bedroom and bath. A perfect symbiosis between indoors/out, classic/modern.
