The kitchen has a sharp, black-and-white aesthetic with marble countertops and white cabinets contrasted by black handles and a black La Cornue range. The black and white aesthetic continues to the staircase and into the main bathroom upstairs.

A wall of windows in the dining room overlooks the lush backyard. The traditional style is echoed there, too, with a brick patio, large lawn and English garden-style plantings of espalier trees, hedges and roses.
