About This Home
As of December 2019Experience a divine expression of a lifestyle often imagined and rarely actualized in one of Westport's finest properties. This custom designed and recently built shingle style home draws from architectural cues of a French manor with masterful design integrating modern luxury. The architectural innovations are visually and physically stimulating to all the senses with the rhythmic repetition of arches and curves throughout embracing a sweeping circular symmetry which articulates an expression of exquisite craftsmanship. Flawlessly executed and presented are a rich palette of materials including native stone, marble, iron, glass, a variety of wood species for flooring and millwork throughout. Form meets function in this outstanding exhibition of an ideally presented home on the Gold Coast ideally located in the heart of Westport.
