A sculptural, curved staircase connects the upper levels, crowned by a domed skylight w/custom lens & a Bocci chandelier, casting a soft glow. The artisan-forged metal balustrade introduces architectural rhythm to the space. The primary suite is a serene retreat wrapped in fine millwork & thoughtful detail. The paneled sitting room w/custom cabinetry doubles as a sophisticated home office.
