About This Home

As of May 2020

Designed by renowned architect Willis Polk in 1915, 20 Oak Ridge Road is a dramatic and utterly exquisite 5BD/4.5BA home graced by many of the hallmarks of a European aesthetic: balconies, patios, and sunrooms, distinctive architectural details, and a sparkling pool. Known in the neighborhood as “The Gatsby House,” 20 Oak Ridge is generously proportioned and light-filled. It is ideally situated on a sought-after cul-de-sac overlooking the Claremont Hotel, and it is steps from exquisite amenities yet stuns with a private, estate-like sensibility.
