An inspired blend of aesthetic beauty and domestic comfort, this utterly unique home sits on serene, professionally landscaped grounds in the desirable Avon Hill neighborhood. A noted Icelandic architect has innovatively reimagined this 19th-century classic as a work of art, a haven for modern living, crafted in 2006 by S+H Construction with unmatched attention to each exquisite detail. Featured in many publications, the home creates a calm oasis with clean lines and monochromatic tones grounded by walnut and granite floors. There are 5+ bedrooms, 3 full and 2 half baths, and 2 offices. The light-bathed open living areas are at one with the sprawling back garden where relaxing terraces surround the reflecting pool with ribbon waterfalls. The living room and epicurean’s kitchen both have sleek fireplaces. Spacious private master quarters feature a spa-like bath. Amenities include leading-edge smart-house systems, a 4,000±-bottle wine cellar, generator, heated drive and garage parking.
