Left and above: The newly added recreation rooms serve as a repository for an impressive collection of sports memorabilia – all neatly organized by O’Brien on custom shelving. Slate tiles accented by mosaic glass insets adorn the walls.
Silk rugs over original cypress flooring adorn the floor in both the living and dining rooms. The latter was purchased in New York City. Simultaneously traditional and forward-looking, the wallpaper in the dining room from the Etched Damask Collection by David Goldberg Design Corporation was prepared by abrading a tinted aluminum veneer through a pattern framework. A hand-rubbed translucent stain further enhances the large-scale print. Both the dining table and chandelier are from Niermann Weeks. The kitchen is a gourmand’s dream, with double islands, a trio of colored wood finishes and topnotch appliances. The kitchen is open to a comfortable hearth room and eat-in area with million dollar views of the pool, lawn and lake. Stairs lead to a pair of guest rooms in the lower level. At the opposite end of the gallery hall from the kitchen, a small vestibule with an inlaid medallion in the wood floor separates the entrance to the master suite from a newly added wing. The open arms of “Lyric,” a five-foot limited edition polished bronze sculpture by Corbin Bronze, provides a welcoming entrée to the restful space.
