Decorated by acclaimed interior designer Mariette Himes Gomez, this home is a showpiece. The rooms are well proportioned, with nice ceiling heights, original mantelpieces on all six wood burning fireplaces, and the original wide-planked pine floors (which were taken off site and refurbished). The front door opens to a lovely reception area with handsome paneling; a graceful stairway leads to the second floor. To the left of the entry is a front sitting room with a fireplace, which leads through to a library, also with a fireplace. The dining room, also with a fireplace, has a built-in curio cabinet. It opens to the English Arts and Crafts kitchen, designed and imported by Wilkinson Kitchens of London. The detailing of the cabinets is remarkable: crafted of sublime Sycamore with Tiger Maple and checkered glass detailing, the boat latch hardware is a reminder of the island’s maritime heritage. Under cabinet lighting, stone tiles imported from French quarries, matte black granite countertops, a sizable pantry, the highest quality appliances (many multiples - convenient if entertaining), and an adjacent butler’s pantry and laundry make this kitchen the consummate space for either a family cooking casually together, or a chef preparing for a lavish event.

There are four en suite bedrooms on the second floor, including the master suite. All are flooded with lovely natural light, have generous closets, and overlook the charming roof and treetops of the neighborhood.

The charming third floor has two bedrooms, a sitting room, and a full bath. While it retains the charm of a garret-like top floor, it is comfortable and inviting.

Full basement accessible through interior and exterior doors

The guest cottage has a nice-sized living room with two sets of barn doors: one opening to the stone terrace (where al fresco dining can be enjoyed) and the other to the well-manicured yard. There is a kitchenette, full bath, and loft bedroom. The same careful attention to detail and quality can be found here as in the main house.
