THE LoGGIA

The loggia is draped with live vines and complemented by plush furnishings, evoking a fairy-tale-like atmosphere. The space is artfully divided into 3 areas, each designed for a unique purpose: a nook for intimate seating, a comfortable lounge with large sofas and a Waterford fireplace, and an elegant dining area that sets the stage for dreamy, candle-lit dinners and soirées.

KITCHEN & DINING

At the heart of the home lies the kitchen, where beauty meets practicality. It offers a Buttler’s pantry and state-of-the-art appliances, including a custom La Cornue stove and dual dishwashers. French doors frame a dreamy courtyard adorned with a mosaic fountain, fire pit, and inviting couches—perfect for starlit evenings. A charming breakfast nook, complete with a crackling fireplace, adds a layer of warmth and intimacy to the space. The dining room features a spacious Carrara marble table and french doors that reveal another serene courtyard.

 

Master suite

 
 

The master suite epitomizes elegance with a palette grounded in earthy browns, tans, and soft neutrals, beautifully layered to create a serene, natural ambiance. A king-size bed with a hand-forged wrought iron frame serves as the centerpiece, surrounded by custom wool rugs that lend a tactile coziness to the space. Velvet-upholstered chairs invite relaxation by the fireplace. His & hers bathrooms and walk-in showers elevate the refined space. Adding a layer of enchantment, a walk-in closet reveals a hidden door within the shoe shelf, leading to a lookout tower above.
