No. 32 Portland Place

O. 32 PORTLAND PLACE WAS DESIGNED in the Beaux Arts style by Weber & Groves in 1898. The graceful front portico is distinguished by four sets of stately columns, while the elegant limestone façade is adorned with exquisite garlands and swags, and provides a wonderful example of the stonecutter’s art at the turn of the century. Stepping into the home from a small but beautifully decorated vestibule, one enters the grand foyer. Originally decorated in a heavy, dark Victorian style, the foyer today retains its original black-andwhite marble floor; but is lighter and brighter, thanks to an impressive crystal chandelier, soft yellow walls and crisp white woodwork. As lovely as the foyer is, the morning room on the western side of the house is breathtaking. Designed by Arlene Lilie, the room is a symphony of soft blues and yellows, and filled with clean-lined modern furnishings that are the perfect foil to the ornate white plaster work on the ceiling and walls. A counterpoint to the airy morning room is the library across the hall, distinguished by masculine, dark-wood paneling. At the rear of the house is a new gourmet kitchen, family room and dining area. A generous expanse of windows overlooks a large covered porch, in-ground pool and large pergola, all of which are new additions, but look as if they have always been there—a true sign of design success.
