Stepping into this grand home is like returning to a more gracious era, when political opponents still came
together at the end of the work day to enjoy each other's company over cocktails and dinner. Its magnificent two-story foyer, with an impressive curving stair to a second floor overlook, its large common rooms, and terraced garden with pool -- all work in concert to create the perfect backdrop for entertaining on a sumptuous scale. On the entry level is a banquet-sized dining room, a sweeping living room with fireplace, a wood-paneled library, a sunroom opening to the terrace and a large eat-in kitchen with a butler's pantry. Upstairs is an owners' suite with a sitting room and large bedroom with separate "his and her" baths and dressing areas, plus two additional bedrooms and baths. The third floor has two more bedrooms and another bath; the lower level has a family room, office with full bath, a bedroom with its own bath, and laundry. An elevator serves the lower three levels, and there is a private driveway with a spacious two-car garage.
