Gazing over the water to The Sanctuary’s nature preserve, this brand-new designer-furnished showplace mixes clean-lined Georgian-inspired architecture with chic modern interiors.
Artful design epitomizes luxe modern living in this brand-new Sanctuary estate, embraced by a serene waterfront view overlooking the tree-cloaked nature preserve in a wide perspective, just one property from the point. Clean-lined Georgian-inspired architecture takes a sophisticated twist in the subtly glamorous, furnished contemporary interiors of this five-bedroom residence, a collaboration of award-winning Bloomfield Construction, Affiniti Architects, and Marc-Michaels Interior Design, twice named on Architectural Digest’s annual AD100 list of the world’s top architects and designers. In the muted tones of a tranquil coastal-themed palette, elegant minimalism emphasizes the design of each carefully thought-out detail, with functional elements crafted as objects of beauty.
The airy open living spaces center on a stunning two-story great room anchored by a marble-slab ribbon fireplace in a sleek paneled wall, across from the glass-encased wine room where stainless steel cables form a “floating” display system with a chic industrial edge. Throughout the main level, transparent walls of retractable glass doors play up the gorgeous waterfront view and freely interconnect with outdoor spaces setting the scene for entertaining with dining/lounge areas around the Hamptons-style pool, infinity-edge spa, and sunken fire-pit by the large yacht dock. Fashioned through a uniquely creative vision, this exquisite Sanctuary estate is one-of-a-kind.
