Enter through the 8’ high glass double doors to the grand foyer with 12’ tall ceilings and your eyes will be drawn to the magnificent Great Room reminiscent of a home from the Gilded Age. The impressive great room has gorgeous Brazilian hardwood floors and measures 26’ x 26’ with 18’ tall ceilings and a cupola with windows extending to 24’ high - an ideal place to display a treasured art collection.
