A custom-built estate by renowned architect Goodwin Steinberg, known for seamlessly connecting the interior and exterior and optimizing natural light. Every angle, expanse of glass, and material has been expertly chosen to enhance the natural beauty of the prolific 2.6 acre protected creekside setting. Purposeful connections between each room create a wonderful flow, and every gracious room has easy and natural access to the outdoors. Dramatic interiors reveal walls of glass that frame majestic oak views, and soaring ceilings are highlighted by to-the-ceiling fireplaces, clerestory windows, and skylights. The 5,478 square feet of living space allows for large-scale entertaining, while a secluded office/media room and the luxurious primary suite provide a true retreat.
