‘The ground floor new addition provides ample shared living and entertainment space while the more intimate spaces, including the family room and formal lounge offer an alternative experience and are found in the original home, which also includes a teen’s bedroom,’ designer Pleysier Perkins reads.
‘The luxurious old man’s wing is upstairs and the basement offers a gym, basement and steam room.’
