Above and beyond, the upper level is a
lightshow. Fixed with thoughtfully placed
windows and sliding glass doors, it is
airy and bright with sunlight, supporting
sublime indoor/outdoor living when opened
to the magnanimous covered balcony with
exuberant ocean view. The wood accent wall
and Beaumanière Limestone floor here are
chic motifs repeated throughout the home.
Inside, light casts beautifully about, high-
lighting the living room with fireplace, a
dining area with statement lighting, and
the bold showcase kitchen.
"Upstairs, we went a little darker," Alta-
mura says of the change in mood that
culminates in the kitchen with a centrally
set kitchen island (and backsplash) of Sara-
toga soapstone and top-line appliances from
the likes of Miele and more. Notable for its
contrasting tone, the kitchen features panels
of espresso-stained cabinetry that visually
help expand the space while giving it a clean,
unfussy look that chimes with the soapstone
countertops with marble detail. While the
space is no shrinking violent, skylights and
upper windows make it feel lighter than even
the boldest black. "I will always have a love
affair with the kitchen," says Hartmann.
Altamura, on the other hand, has a
passion for the powder bath on this floor.
Doused in jewel-box burgundy, the space
is small in size but big on vibes, done floor
to ceiling in glossy Crème Brûlée tiles for a
mesmerizing, light-reflecting depth, juxta-
posed with lustrous brass hardware and a
Nero Marquina stone countertop with inte-
grated sink.
Beach level takes on an entirely different
tone, set by a limewash wall that marks the
media room, with built-in bar, that opens to
the vibrant ocean-view patio where you can
rinse off sandy feet after a day at the beach.
"It's a great place to entertain," Altamura
says. "At the same time, there's multiple
ways you can use this room." Including as
a guest room with access to another beau-
tiful bath, done in custom Nero Marquina
herringbone tiles, below on the ground floor,
which gives way to two additional well-lit
bedrooms (one en-suite with a Dolce Cala-
catta bath) and a two-car garage, as well.
"It's a dream pied-à-terre for someone
who appreciates authenticity and under-
stated charisma," Hartmann says of the
house, which comes with cutting-edge tech-
nology throughout. "It's strong but sincere.
A reflection of Vince."
