REAL ESTATE
owners fell in love with the estate
at first sight. And while they were
smitten with the sprawling, 11,000
sq ft Mediterranean style villa set
on a peninsula, to realize their
European vision fully, renovations
were in order. Enter Marybeth
Woods Architect, Lisa Friedman
Design, and George Desmond
of John Desmond Builders. In
conjunction with the owners, this
residential dream team upped the
ante on what would be, arguably, the
most covetable estate in Westport.
Upon entering this European
inspired home, guests are greeted
within a gracious foyer where
dramatic white arches frame both the
spaces and view beyond while wide-
plank, golden oak flooring warms
underfoot. "is entry," says Levanti,
"has a quality that seems to envelop
you in the sense of serenity." And
indeed, that sensation is well noted.
Friedman combined the modern
and somewhat minimalist interiors
with Woods' architecture, allowing
the brightly illuminated rooms to
take full advantage of the gorgeous
property just beyond, without
sacrificing a single iota of luxury or
convenience.
e result is a home well anchored
into its space, which takes full
advantage of the surrounding, natural
elements. A statement chandelier
unites three well-designed floors.
