About This Home

As of August 2012

As the home of acclaimed best-selling author Peter Benchley, this Western Section beauty with splendor to spare has hosted spirited events, as well as some of film and literature's most colorful personalities. Ionic columns and leaded glass herald the passage into the entry hall showcasing a formal staircase. The sitting room, an intimate alternative to the expansive living room, carries on the theme with a leaded glass bay and diminutive columns edging the fireplace. Benchley's screening room may be preserved or returned to a study. Beyond a cloakroom, the dining room joins the commercially equipped kitchen, part of a sun-splashed expansion by Jerry Ford. Floor-to-ceiling views of the terrace, tennis court and pool beckon outdoors. Sweeping archways before a Juliet balcony and windows with graceful fretwork bring the same enticing elegance to the second and third floors, where the master suite is fitted with built-ins and a claw foot tub and 7 more bedrooms ready to serve a myriad of needs share 3 baths.
