Listed at $8,900,000, this remarkable property is listed by esteemed real estate expert Diane DuVall from Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty.
Located adjacent to the desirable Highland Park, this four-level residence is elegantly crafted and reflects the significant architectural vision of James Langford, a renowned architect. Completed in 2000, the home pays homage to French châteaux styles and features Lueders limestone, exquisite ironwork, and an overall commanding presence.
Upon entering, guests are welcomed into a contemporary interior designed by the illustrious Paul Draper, utilizing luxurious materials such as limestone, marble, rosewood, and onyx. A stunning focal point is the magnificent hand-carved chimneypiece of marble and jasper, believed to be crafted by the illustrious Sir Henry Cheere, carver to Westminster Abbey.
This residence is built to outperform standard luxury homes, constructed by respected builder Andres Construction, utilizing steel and concrete pad technology that ensures durability and precision in engineering. The layout comprises three lavish bedrooms, a grand two-story great room, an elegant dining area, a media lounge, a gourmet chef’s kitchen, a breakfast nook, and an extraordinary library — one of the rarest residential art installations featuring James Turrell’s Skyspace.
One of its unique attributes is the turret roof that rotates, revealing the sky and transforming the library into a canvas of evolving art. This interactive feature allows for an extraordinary ambiance, where shifting daylight creates illusions of changing color within the open-air installation, providing a calming effect and a unique interplay of light.
As the turret opens, it heightens the experience, allowing residents to connect with nature while surrounded by books on circular shelves, creating an inspiring atmosphere for contemplation. When the roof is closed, a serene blue light gently illuminates the space, casting beautiful shadows across the curved ceiling.
This home represents a unique intersection of artistic expression and luxurious living, designed not merely as a residence but as an embodiment of art appreciation. Located within the exclusive community of Place des Vosges, this residence provides an unparalleled living experience that combines sophistication with artistic indulgence.
