There are homes that impress on first glance, and there are homes that reveal themselves slowly — detail by detail, room by room, space by space. This estate belongs to the second category. Every decision made in its construction reflects a commitment to classical proportion, natural materials, and the kind of craftsmanship that does not announce itself but becomes impossible to ignore once you know what you are looking at.
From the polished marble entry to the resort-caliber outdoor living terraces, this property was designed and built as a complete environment — not a collection of individual rooms and amenities, but a single unified statement about what a home at the highest level of execution can be. Atlantic Construction and Remodeling was responsible for the full scope: interior architectural millwork, kitchen construction, staircase installation, and the entire outdoor living complex including pool surround, fire pit, paver terraces, and landscape integration.
Interior ArchitectureThe entry sequence of this home is anchored by two massive square pillars — fluted, paneled, and capped with full decorative capitals — that frame the transition from the main hall into the kitchen beyond. These are not decorative afterthoughts. They are load-bearing architectural elements finished to a standard that makes the distinction between structure and ornament irrelevant. The fluting is precise. The bases are proportioned correctly. The capitals match the scale of the room.
Overhead, multi-layered crown molding runs the full perimeter at a depth that the room’s ceiling height demands — not the thin cove profile common in production construction, but a built-up assembly with multiple members that casts a shadow line and gives the ceiling a finished terminus. High ceilings without proportionate crown molding look unresolved. High ceilings with crown molding at this scale look inevitable.
“Every room in this estate was designed with the understanding that luxury is not a material — it is a standard of execution applied consistently across every surface, every detail, and every transition.”
The primary flooring throughout the main living areas is large-format polished marble — Calacatta or Carrara in tone, with the translucency and veining that only natural stone delivers. Inset at the pillar bases and doorway transitions are dark Emperador marble squares, creating a border detail that defines zones without interrupting the flow of the space. The wall surfaces below the chair rail carry traditional raised-panel wainscoting, painted in warm cream with gold and bronze accent trim that reads as restrained from a distance and reveals its precision only on close inspection.
The entry hall and kitchen transition — polished marble, fluted pillars, layered crown molding, and crystal chandeliers defining a room built to last.
The kitchen of this estate operates at two registers simultaneously: it is a fully equipped professional-grade cooking environment and a finished architectural room. Two large multi-armed crystal chandeliers anchor the ceiling — one over the primary prep area, one centered in the kitchen proper — providing both task illumination and a visual statement that sets the tone for the entire space. Wall sconces mounted within the pillar panels carry the same fixture language, ensuring that nothing in the room reads as a later addition.
Cabinetry is custom raised-panel wood with elaborate valances, glass-front uppers, and the kind of site-fitted installation that eliminates the gaps and inconsistencies that reveal production cabinetry. Granite countertops provide the working surface, and a pot filler faucet mounted above the range eliminates one of the practical frustrations of high-volume cooking. A full-height stainless refrigerator is integrated seamlessly into the cabinetry wall — flush-fronted, panel-aligned, invisible as an appliance and present as a design element.

The outdoor living complex of this estate covers more functional square footage than most primary residences. The central feature is a large rectangular pool with turquoise water, a raised integrated spa with stone coping, and a Baja shelf tanning ledge at the near end for lounging in shallow water. On the far edge, an infinity-style spillway creates a water feature that extends the visual depth of the pool beyond its physical boundary.
The entire surround is paved in large-format travertine-look natural stone pavers in a light beige tone — a material choice that manages heat in direct sun, provides a non-slip texture at the pool edge, and ages with a patina that makes the installation look more established with each passing year. Large-format pavers eliminate the visual busyness of smaller units and give the terrace the scale that a pool complex of this size requires.
In the lower terrace, a sunken stone fire pit area anchors the social zone separate from the pool deck — defined by low stone retaining walls that double as built-in bench seating, with stone steps connecting the upper pool level to the fire pit grade below. Multiple staircase connections — from the house loggias down to the main pool terrace, from the terrace to the fire pit, from the terrace into the pool itself — give the complex a circulation logic that makes movement feel natural rather than prescribed.
“The outdoor complex was designed as a series of connected rooms — pool terrace, fire pit gathering zone, loggia shade — each with its own purpose and atmosphere, each connected to the others by stone and grade.”
The full outdoor living environment — pool complex, stone terraces, fire pit, and mature landscape surround — built as a single integrated design.
