The parlor floor is fabulous for entertaining with formal living and dining rooms and stunning etched glass and mahogany pocket doors that were designed for the house by the artist Dennis Abbe, a former president of the Art Deco Society of New York. The large chef’s kitchen opens onto a large landscaped south facing garden that was designed after the Tuileries garden of Paris with birch trees and paths of white stones. Light radiates throughout the house from an elegantly etched glass skylight also designed by Mr. Abbe. The skylight filters the light through a sweeping elliptical stairway that leads you up to a luxurious master bedroom suite with large private terrace, a library/ guest suite and then up to a marvelous open top floor office with French doors that open to another large terrace. The history and integrity of this house remain, enhanced by state of the art amenities, along with the glamour of years gone by.
