Property Description
The interiors are just as impressive, featuring floors of limestone, oak, and parquet that perfectly complement the expansive windows and multiple sets of French doors. These open onto a luxurious rear terrace, providing breathtaking views of a sparkling swimming pool and meticulously landscaped gardens.
Inside, the residence features a grand center hall that sets the stage for an elegant flow from the formal rooms to a sunlit conservatory with arched windows on three sides, leading into a cozy, wood-paneled library. The formal living room boasts historic paneling from an 18th-century German castle, adding to the home's rich character, while the dining room’s ceiling displays stunning plaster artistry.
Ascending the main staircase brings you to the private quarters on the second floor, which include a master suite with a spacious marble bathroom, three additional large bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a convenient laundry room. The third floor offers two more bedrooms and two bathrooms, perfect for family or guests.
Additional amenities include a lower-level exercise room and a pool house with direct access to the outdoor swimming area. The grounds are dotted with majestic trees and well-thought-out plantings, enhancing the serene setting.
Make 1221 Lafayette Rd your new home and immerse yourself in luxury and history, whether for a six-month stay or longer.
