About this home
Originally designed by renowned architect David Adler in 1923 as part of the Carolyn Morse Ely estate, this extraordinary home at 131 Moffett Road holds a remarkable history. Once a wing of the original estate, the residence was relocated in the early 1950s-moved on rails and positioned onto its own parcel, creating a truly unique and storied property. Thoughtful additions have been made over the years, with the most significant transformation beginning in 2000. Guided by the vision of designer and then-owner Athalie Derse, in collaboration with architect Steve Rugo, the home was masterfully reimagined. The result is a captivating blend of classic Adler architecture and modern-day luxury-seamlessly preserving the estate's historic character while incorporating exceptional detailing and high-end finishes throughout. Set on 1.2 serene acres along a quiet private lane, this one-of-a-kind residence offers timeless elegance in a peaceful, picturesque setting.
