The allée driveway curves through open lawns to the walled courtyard. Built for Florence Rockefeller Sloan in 1928, this gracious house of quiet elegance with fantastic quality has 23 to34-inch thick stone walls has wonderful proportions, perfect detailing, high ceilings and many french doors outside to terraces overlooking the 5.07 acres of superb gardens in an oasis of calm with only the sounds of nature. Graceful, double low riser stairways lead up to the handsome front door with arched transom windows and twin oval windows on each side. The grand center hall with painted panelling, a marble floor and a powder room rises two stories with a gentle curve at the base of the stairway and south-facing french doors open to the garden. The generous 43-foot long living room with a fireplace and sublime detailing has two window bays, one facing south, the other to the west, and there is a wet bar plus a secret door to the walled courtyard. The memorable formal dining room has a fireplace, curved corner display cabinets and french doors to the garden, while the mahogany panelled library has a fireplace flanked by bookcases with carved detailing. The family room with a fireplace has a south-facing bay window and its adjoins the remodeled kitchen with a butler's pantry as well as the mudroom which opens to two out of the five garages. A playroom is next to the family room with a full bath which works very nicely as a pool house, plus there is an attached greenhouse. Upstairs is a lovely, south-facing master suite with a fireplace, french doors to an ornate balcony, a solarium bay, large dressing areas and two bathrooms. There are six additional bedrooms in a flexible arrangement with four bathrooms, plus a third-floor suite with four bedrooms, ample storage and two sets of back stairs.
