Thoughtfully reimagined from top to bottom, this home has been fully renovated for modern luxury living while preserving the architectural details that make it so special.

Clean lines, warm natural materials, and an abundance of natural light create a home that feels both peaceful and intentional. The foyer sets the tone with stone flooring, a large skylight overhead, and a custom iron rod railing that immediately highlights the home’s architectural character.
