Single Family · Built 1908 · Historic
As the home of acclaimed best-selling author Peter Benchley, this Western Section beauty with splendor to spare was a gathering place for writers, artists, and politicians. Ionic columns and leaded glass herald the passage into the entry hall showcasing a formal staircase. The sitting room, an intimate alternative to the expansive living room, carries on the theme with a leaded glass bay and diminutive columns edging the fireplace. Benchley's screening room may be preserved or returned to a study. Beyond a cloakroom, the dining room joins the commercially equipped kitchen, part of a sun-splashed expansion by Jerry Ford. Floor-to-ceiling views of the terrace, tennis court and pool beckon outdoors. Sweeping archways before a Juliet balcony and windows with graceful fretwork bring the same enticing elegance to the second and third floors, where the master suite is fitted with built-ins and a claw foot tub and 6 more bedrooms are ready to serve a myriad of needs.
