An iconic Denny Blaine residence, privately nestled on one of the neighborhood's most coveted streets. Originally designed in 1928 by renowned architect William Bain, this architectural gem has been masterfully reimagined, honoring its historic pedigree through a refined, design-led vision for modern living. Graciously scaled interiors unfold beneath soaring ceilings, where rich architectural details, a sculptural fireplace & walls of natural light create a sophisticated interplay of light, texture & scale. Elegant entertaining spaces transition to private gardens & dissolve the boundary between indoors & out. Throughout the day, sunlight drifts through every room, illuminating sparkling outlooks & an unmistakable sense of zen. At the heart of the home, the stunning chef's kitchen anchors daily life & effortless entertaining, opening to a chic den, gracious gathering spaces & a garden terrace designed for al fresco dining & seamless indoor-outdoor living. Beyond, mature gardens create an immersive landscape that feels remarkably private & beautifully established. Upstairs, the primary suite is a serene escape framed by beautiful views & soft natural light, complemented by three additional bedrooms & flexible spaces for guests, a wellness studio, home office or den. Luminous, timeless & deeply inviting, this thoughtfully composed sanctuary radiates warmth, generous scale & a profound connection to nature—creating an atmosphere that feels both inspiring & effortlessly alive.
