Custom-built display racks and a wall of preserved historic newspapers abut a wood-framed archway leading to the library with intricate parquet flooring.

This grand living room balances regal elegance with playful Americana.

This extensive home library features floor-to-ceiling wood bookshelves, geometric parquet floors, and a dramatic ceiling mural. A bold yellow high-back loveseat with a Union Jack pillow serves as a playful focal point, surrounded by carefully curated artifacts that reflect the homeowner’s distinct personality.

This elegant staircase features rich woodwork, ornate white-and-gold iron balusters, and patterned carpeted steps, each one showcasing some of the homeowner’s extensive sneaker collection.
