Distinguished by design and defined by quality.

Goldberg Downey architects teamed up with Windward Builders to craft the incredible residence. No detail was overlooked in the construction of this home from the foundation to the designer finishes. Skilled craftsmen and industry experts were brought in for various detailing from the inside out. Thomas Cowan, an accomplished architectural woodwork detailer, designed and executed the unbelievable millwork throughout the home to enhance the overall architectural intent, including window seats, wainscoting, fireplace mantle, and moulding. Timberland Woodcrafters brought to life the exterior shutters. No expense was spared with the materials from Heritage mahogany front doors and handrails, Baldwin solid brass hardware, quarter sawn hardwood flooring, to Pella architecture series windows and French doors. Tithof Tile & Marble, the premier stone and tile boutique on the Northshore, supplied and installed the limestone, marble, porcelain and ceramic tile for the home. The Lutron GRAFIK Eye 4000 system was installed to control the lighting and has numerous presets that can be alternated with the touch of a button. The integration of quality and attention to detail throughout the home combine to form an unforgettable residence. The floor plan was thoughtfully designed with flexibility to provide both an open feel and allow for privacy as well. The foyer opens to both the stunning living room with a stone surround fireplace and a separate office or den.

The gracious de Giulio kitchen and breakfast room features custom patina Pine cabinetry and mantle, 1 ¼” granite island and countertops, Thermador six burner cooktop, Thermador double ovens, two Miele dishwashers, and a SubZero refrigerator plus two refrigerator drawers.
