Soaring, 17-foot ceilings and an airy, open floor plan with four private terraces create an inviting space for family gatherings or entertaining. The vaulted glass ceiling bathes the public rooms with amazing natural light, showcasing the living room’s wood-burning fireplace with carved mantel and custom-designed sculptural woodbox, ebonized oak floors and Ochre “Arctic Pear” chandelier. Deconstructed riddling racks accent the spacious dining area with its angled glass ceiling, and glass doors open to the terrace overlooking the charming landscaped courtyard.
