Drawing inspiration from the shapes, colors, and serene atmosphere of the Tuscany countryside, a master architect created a contemporary residence that emphasizes light, proportion, and connection to the water. The layout was conceived to maximize the views: every principal room offers direct sightlines to the river and sound, ensuring the landscape remains the focal point of daily life.

Grand gallery with vaulted ceiling and water views

An embracing courtyard, centered around a calming fountain, welcomes guests and leads into the grand gallery. This dramatic space features a soaring vaulted ceiling and expansive glazing that frames the blue horizon beyond, creating a luminous transition between interior and exterior living.

Great room with fireplace and seating areas

The great room is designed for both entertaining and relaxed family living. It includes a full wet bar equipped with a refrigerator and ice maker, a formal dining area comfortably sized for ten, and a generous conversation area centered around a fireplace. The bar sits just steps from a screened porch and a rear terrace, providing easy flow for indoor-outdoor gatherings. Beyond the terrace’s retaining wall, an expanse of lawn invites lawn games, quiet reflection, or uninterrupted views of the water.

The gourmet kitchen is thoughtfully appointed for serious cooking and entertaining. Appliances include a built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Viking cooktop. The layout offers two dedicated prep areas and direct access to an adjacent walled courtyard—perfect for potted herbs, morning coffee, or al fresco meals.

A barrel‑arched passageway connects the public living spaces to the more private wing of the home. That wing houses a library with built‑in bookcases and a partner’s desk, a guest room with an ensuite bath and private entrance, and the owner’s suite featuring a coffered ceiling and its own terrace. The owner’s suite is thoughtfully divided into two separate baths: “his” bath includes a doorless tiled shower and a walk‑in closet, while “her” bath features a dedicated dressing room with built‑in armoires and a luxurious soaking tub.

The home is equipped with numerous practical and luxury systems, including integrated sound and security, a whole‑house generator, reverse osmosis water treatment, and specialty gallery lighting. Functional conveniences include a large laundry and hobby room with a drying cabinet and ironing center, heated bathroom tile, an irrigation system, a pet door, a sizable walk‑up attic for storage, and windows fitted with built‑in shades and pull‑down screens.
