French Empire meets the 21st Century in this stunning new home. The synergy of such an amalgam of styles could be the beginning of a whole new form of modern architecture combining the opulence of the “Golden Age” with the sleek, clean lines and high-tech comforts of today. 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. Long a popular area for Manhattan’s magnates and luminaries, Old Westbury is just 30 minutes by railway or highway from Manhattan and its major airports. Conveniently located near parks and museums, it is just a short drive to fine dining, premier shopping, country clubs, miles of public equestrian trails, yacht clubs, and beaches.
