DESIGN COLLABORATION Designed in collaboration with Marti Sagar Interiors, the interiors are restorative, livable, and uplifting. Known for her contemporary yet timeless style, Sagar has created residences across New York, New England, and beyond, with a focus on functional sanctuaries that balance beauty, comfort, and modern lifestyle. LAYOUT CHARACTER • Parlor Floor: A dramatic entertaining level with soaring ceilings, a gas fireplace, wide-plank hardwood floors, and an oversized gallery wall ideal for large-scale art. Floor-to-ceiling windows on both east and west exposures frame views of the landscaped garden and the Neo-Gothic St. Charles Borromeo Church, offering both privacy and architectural beauty. • Garden Floor: A culinary centerpiece with an oversized chef’s kitchen featuring a six-burner Wolf range, side-by-side Sub-Zero refrigeration, dual dishwashers and sinks, expansive stone prep surfaces, and abundant cabinetry. A formal dining room overlooks the garden. • Third Floor: Currently configured as a library and office, but easily converted into a second primary suite. • Fourth Floor: A tranquil primary suite with oversized windows, a gas-burning fireplace, and a rare screened sleeping porch enveloped in greenery. The spa-like bath includes a double vanity, soaking tub, and shower illuminated by three east-facing windows. • Top Floor: Illuminated by a central skylight, this flexible space is ideal for a guest room, media room, fitness studio, or creative retreat. A custom steel-and-glass staircase with floating glass treads rises through the home, channeling light from the skylight and diffused by a fluted glass wall, creating a luminous vertical spine that connects every level. • Basement: Utility and storage with discreet integration. • Additional Features: Integrated sound system, gas fireplace, and zoned gas-fired HVAC with individually controlled rooms.
