The low down: Built by builder/designer L. W. Lindsay in 1928, this stunning home has been meticulously renovated by the current owners. The home retains its original footprint, Ludovici tile roof, hardwood floors, refined millwork, and glass-paned doors, but has added all-new wiring, copper gutters, and an elevators to whisk you between floors.

The floorplan seamlessly connects formal and informal spaces, with a central hall leading from the foyer to the family room. The stately formal living room, adorned with ornamental molding and a marble fireplace, opens to the den. The dining room features sash windows and leads to a side hall with a powder room and handy butler's pantry for storing serveware.

In the modern and open kitchen, you'll find a large island with a warming drawer, a Viking Pro six-burner range, Sub-Zero appliances, and a spacious walk-in pantry. A French door leads to the motor court, while a charming arched serving window passes through to the breakfast room.

Find a tranquil escape in the dreamy primary suite, which includes its own wet bar, a boutique-like closet, and a granite and tile bathroom with his-and-hers vanities. A private staircase leads up to the third-floor flex room, which could function as everything from a yoga room or an artist studio to a second home office.

The jewel of the backyard is the pool and its surrounding manicured gardens. Travertine hardscape extends to a cabana that's equipped with a fireplace, pull-up bar, summer kitchen, and full pool bath. Spacious quarters are found above a three-car garage and additional three-car carport.
