Reflecting 18th century Île de France architecture, this Parisian-style property is for sale by Justin Long and Nicholas Brooks of Marshall White.
A formal park-style garden of red oak trees that change colour with the seasons provides an entrance-way and privacy.
There are Versailles pattern oak parquetry floors throughout the home and high ceilings and limestone walls. A formal sitting and dining room creates a banquet hall with antique limestone fireplaces at each end and French doors opening to the garden.
At the centre of the house a circular vestibule beneath a 10 metre sky-lit void provides another dining space. An informal living room and separate casual dining room both open to a paved northeast garden with heated pool and full width sun-awning. A French inspired kitchen is focused around an antique butchers block.
An oak staircase leads up to the main bedroom with retreat, limestone fireplace, concealed TV, walk in robe and Indian slate ensuite. There is also a double bedroom with ensuite and walk in robe and another with a built in robe study or office and a bathroom with a Neo Classical freestanding marble bath.
A hidden driveway leads down to a basement art gallery with capacity for parking six cars.
