The artfully updated kitchen, which, while fitting seam-
lessly into the home's milieu, was designed for modern life.
Miele appliances, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Dombracht fixtures,
an impeccably designed pantry and an extra-large island with
plenty of seating, invites home and professional cooks alike to
flex their culinary muscles within its well-conceived open-plan
footprint. Exquisite light fixtures from the likes of Serge Mouille,
Rich Brilliant Willing and Louis Poulsen illuminate the home's
silver travertine and walnut floors.
A small desk at the bottom of a nearby staircase that leads
up to the family room, painted in Farrow & Ball's Bainbridge
Blue 749, offers a central station for paying bills and storing
cookbooks. Lit by a sconce from Atelier de Troupe, its drawer
conceals a charging dock. A plush built-in banquette whose
blue seats hide extra storage, is a cozy option for light meals
and snacks. A laundry room nearby is positioned to accept wet
bathing suits and towels.
You'll appreciate these thoughtful touches the moment you
glance through the kitchen's windows and see the backyard. Its
breathtaking L-shaped pool, at the center of an expansive patio
with plenty of room for lounging, will prompt you to consider
plans for parties, large and small. The home's west side gate
welcomes visitors directly into the backyard. Place the barbecue
in the nook just outside the kitchen to ensure guests can grab
grilled offerings as they enter. The bridge over the pool, mean-
while, leads to a beautifully landscaped pathway that winds up
the mountain slope offering plenty of secluded built-in benches
for private conversations while looking out over the activities
Rich's impeccable work was restored under the aegis of the current owners, who said,
"We wanted someone who would approach it with integrity."
