open to a gym with exposed brick walls, robust speakers and a
flatscreen TV. (There is a total of 10 flatscreens in the home.)
While the lower level is dedicated to diversion—where
one can conceivably have an in-home date with drinks and a
movie, or a workout-and-steam session followed by a couples'
massage in the nearby en-suite room—the home's upper levels
are dedicated to bedrooms and gathering spaces. Four of the
home's six bedrooms are found on the middle level, includ-
ing a stylish getaway of a master bedroom where French doors
open over the green backyard. Here, a flickering fireplace plays
against dark teal wall panels (neatly obscuring custom cabi-
netry), and the ceiling, cut in a tongue-and-groove pattern,
contrasts subtly against wood-grain wallpaper by French house
Nobilis. The result is a tasteful space that's visually interest-
ing without overwhelming. Much space is given to the master
bathroom, where luxuries include an amply sized walk-in
shower and endless marble countertops. "We love to sleep in
a chilly room, so we have two separate A/C units solely dedi-
cated to the master suite," points out Tricia. "And last, but
not least, we love that you can go from seeing the beautiful
backyard, to the whole room being blacked out at the touch
of a button with the motorized black-out and sheer shades."
(The home is fully automated, from sound and sight to secu-
rity, lighting and window shades.)
Not surprisingly, the place the homeowners designate as
"the anchor of our home and the perfect entertaining space"
is the kitchen. Neatly crafted as a hub for children to run
about in and for visiting adults to congregate, this space has
balanced lofty design against the pragmatics of day-to-day
family life. Two oversized islands, distinctive blue-green in
hue and topped in milky white stone, and two oversized refrig-
erators are among the comforts. Counter space is ample, as
are choices of places to sit down and dine—a cozy, patterned
corner nook or a sedate, nearby dining room with a sunny
balcony are among the choices. Like the whole of the home,
this space has been designed to satisfy the dual tracks of
domestic life—pleasing its youngest inhabitants and offering
plenty of grown-up spaces for adults to play, too.
