This was the open house surprise yesterday. It has been on the market for as high as $18,500,000 and recently reduced to $12,900,000. What has to be highlighted is that this is an architectural treasure – designed by Warren Platner* (he also designed the original restaurant atop the World Trade Center). It sits beautifully on 4 acres – with total privacy, yet close to town. Nature is invited inside this home from every window. The photos do not include a gym that rivals Equinox – I’m not kidding, and a garage that has clear doors….The solarium is also unusual with ivy gracing a brick wall, a misting system and a peeked glass roof.
Because each room was designed with the furniture as an integral part of the life and art of this home, it is included in the selling price. Mr. Plattner also designed these pieces. Beautiful burl wood is everywhere, and varnished to perfection. Each room is a surprise…
