Enjoy glorious sunset views from this 12,000 +/- sq. ft. home on 1.9 acres on Georgica Pond by Jeffrey Coll’. With 203 feet direct frontage on the Pond and adjacent to a 17-acre Nature Conservancy preserve, this breathtaking estate includes a separate 1,800 sq. ft. two story, two-bedroom guesthouse. The residence was created from a 100-year-old studio designed by noted architect Stanford White. Offering seven bedrooms, seven full and two half baths, and seven fireplaces, 18th century French antiques, this home marries Old World quality and beautifully handcrafted details with state of the art technology and engineering. All stone floors and the hand-carved stone tubs throughout the home are radiant-heated. Parquet de Versailles and black walnut floors and panel walls are all hand-pegged and all woodwork was milled on site. The original three-story, 1,500 +/- sq. ft. structure was turned to face the pond and became the 30-foot-high living room of the new residence, entered through a double-height entry hall floored with French limestone. The spacious gourmet kitchen/family room, served by an adjacent pantry and butler’s kitchen, offers professional-grade appliances including a custom La Cornue range, screen porch with fireplace and a wall of French doors opening onto Turkish limestone terraces overlooking the pond and preserve and the heated gunite vanishing-edge pool. A formal dining room, family room, library paneled in black walnut, media room and guest suite complete the first level. A large gallery overlooks the first floor and French doors open to a second-floor water view porch.
