DESCRIPTION
Classic luxury with the spirit of Jefferson's Monticello in Grogan's Point.TRANSCRIPT
The two-story entrance of
this residence opens to a
lovely foyer of marble with
tile insets and a round
lampshade chandelier.
Detailed wood work and
masonry attest to master
craftsmanship that creates a
living environment perfect
for any decor.
This large area currently
features recreations of
national motifs and period-
style furnishings evoking a
sense of American heritage
and pride.

The smallest details can make the biggest impressions.
Note the design of the staircase with its exposed wood
treads, white risers and spindles, and the polished
woodwork that leads the eye upwards towards the
open gallery bridge that crosses the foyer.
A strong artistic influence can be seen in the separation
of rooms throughout this home. Note how the marble
flooring with square tile insets in the foyer steps down
to the linear hardwoods in the two-story formal living
room by way of gently curved steps that iterate the
sinuous lines of the rising staircase.
Paneled walls rise to inordinate heights for a dramatic
chiaroscuro effect of increased space and volume in all
living areas at any time of day.

The main study of the home steps down from the foyer and is located across from the formal dining
room. All the elements are in place for a grand experience as a library, home office, music room or
receiving room featuring a gas log fireplace with raised hearth, marble surround and wood mantle,
built-in bookcases, a crystal chandelier, paneled walls and ceiling treatment, custom drapery and
hardwood flooring. Three large windows look towards the front grounds.

area and wardrobe closet by the entrance to this room can easily convert it into another guest bedroom.

room is dressed in
paneling, columns
with Greek-style
capitals, a mock floor
to ceiling brick fireplace
flanked by built-ins,

The stately front entrance features a solid wood, white door with leaded glass insert, sidelights and arched
transom. It is flanked by two stone eagles and several large planters with graciously spiraling shrubs. Two
large sconces in black wrought iron hold incandescent lightbulbs that cast a beautiful golden glow upon
the red bricks of the home’s facade and patterned concrete driveway. The garage was reduced to house
only three vehicles in order to build out an extra room, currently used as the fitness room and second study.

Brick flooring and pillars, white walls with portal windows, sconces and French doors, and wrought iron
railing make this outdoor balcony a perfect spot for enjoying a favorite beverage and conversation. You
can enjoy a birdseye view of the rear grounds during a break from leisure activities in the media room or
the gameroom. Tall trees and the abutting permanent reserve enhance the open privacy of this balcony.
The two-story lanai across the rear of the home features masonry railing and tiled flooring. It overlooks
the fully fenced backyard that is filled with nothing more than pillow-top hedges and tall native trees for
a rustic, forested appeal. The generous rear grounds can be redesigned to cater to any or all of your
favorite outdoor amenities.
