Steeped in historical significance and architectural elegance, the living space has been extensively renovated combining old world charm with modern amenities. The impeccable design choices are thoughtfully reflected throughout from the art deco bathrooms to the William Morris wallpaper. Every room exudes sophistication and meticulous care. The main level primary bedroom suite and gracious sitting rooms, each with gorgeous detail and wood burning fireplaces, open to the dramatic three-story Atrium, a year-round haven reminiscent of New Orleans. Upstairs are 7 beautifully appointed ensuite bedrooms, one of which is used as a gym; another as an office. This property is the anchor of a community of homes joined by an Association that manages the 50 magnificent, park-like acres and amenities, including a heated, Gunite pool, pool house, tennis and paddle/pickle courts.
