French Empire meets the 21st Century in this stunning new home.

Standing majestically on a gorgeous, professionally landscaped, one-acre property, this brand new 5200-square-foot home, with five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths, must be experienced to truly appreciate. No expense has been spared in its design, construction, and appointments resulting in perfection with panache. On a peaceful, tree-lined lane in Old Westbury, it is just a mile or two from transportation and shopping hubs.
