The living room and dining room have over eleven-foot ceilings and are flooded with natural light from a glorious south-facing bay window and oversized windows to the north and south. Original wood burning fireplaces in each room become the centerpiece, with oak wood-paneled walls and Brazilian mahogany herringbone floors in the living room adding to the grandeur. The modern kitchen has a beautiful south seating area surrounded by windows inviting views of townhomes, trees, and the garden below. The clouds extend into the room with a captivating ceiling painting by renowned artist Richard Cortez, setting the stage for a home that is not just lived in but experienced. Ascend to the third floor, where four bedrooms, three fireplaces, and two bathrooms display the richness of mahogany, cherry, and oak materials used throughout the home. A Brazilian hardwood and copper-clad exterior deck faces south from your primary bedroom suite, with a windowed dressing room and an enormous primary bathroom.
