The builders of this magnificent house sailed to England on the Queen Mary for their honeymoon in 1938. They were so impressed with the elegance and modernity of Cunard’s flagship, they wanted their new house to evoke all the glamour of the new Modernistic architectural style. The result is an incredible fusion of the nautical & the structural including all the period features one would expect. The library sports a round, tiled fireplace, built-ins, blonde wood paneling & glass brick windows. The sunken living room offers large glass expanses, gleaming hardwood floors & an exquisite fireplace with mirror. The expansive kitchen blends the ‘Modern’ with contemporary appliances, a breakfast bar and a cozy eat-in dining area. Both a butler’s pantry & a cook’s pantry lead you to the formal dining room with views of the outdoors. Head up the red staircase to find an en suite primary bedroom, three other bedrooms plus a dramatic tree high sun porch running the full width of the house. Each of the two bathrooms is appropriately plumbed with Modernistic tiles and fixtures that harken back to a splendid age. Below decks, the ground floor will surprise you with its period wet bar replete with brass portholes and ship’s bell as well as a heated garage and utility area with half bath and laundry. With 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, copious closets and outdoor decks, it’s not just a home but an important architectural example perfect for raising large families or for those who love to entertain.
