Grand entertaining rooms radiate from this great space including a formal Living Room, the banquet-sized Dining Room and the Sun Room. The Living and Dining Rooms include spectacular wall and wainscot moldings as well as a wood burning fireplaces and French doors to the gardens. Three walls of arched French doors grace the Sun Room affording widespread views of the Valley beyond as well as easy access to the Terraces.

The two main level Bedrooms are now combined to create the Library with two fireplaces, extensive built-in bookcases, a wet bar and full Bath. To the East, a Butler~s Pantry connects the Dining Room to the large eat-in Kitchen and Family Room. Above are four rooms and full bath, easily convertible to a large, private au-pair suite. A Home Office extends beyond the Family Room with access to a glass-enclosed breezeway to the multi-purpose Annex addition perfect for a studio or retreat. The Second Floor hall is awash with natural light from the large mid-landing window of the main staircase. The Master Bedroom Suite shares this level with a large 2nd Master Bedroom, also with fireplace and Bath. Views from the 2nd Floor Sun Room count among the best in the house. A spacious Sitting Hall on the Third Floor is a central gathering area for the three Bedrooms surrounding it. An open staircase in the Library Hall leads to the lower level Club Room. Across the Motor Court lies the brick Carriage House with a central three-car Garage flanked to the right with a three-stall Stable with tack room and on the left a thoroughly renovated two-bedroom Apartment. A door from the apartment opens to the restored and relaxing in-ground Pool area enclosed by brick garden walls.
