The interior was designed by Thierry Despont and renovated from 15 rooms to nine larger spaces, according to the listing with Sotheby’s International Realty. There are four bedrooms, five full bathrooms and one half-bath.
The property maintains period details and high ceilings, but has also been updated for modern comforts and style in rooms like the sunny eat-in kitchen with an industrial range and double refrigerators.

The dining room also includes a fireplace, and the spaces can be opened for one large, open entertaining space or closed off with mahogany pocket doors.
The primary bedroom suite sits at the southeast end of the home. It features a private sitting area, a marble bath with dual vanities and a separate shower and soaking tub, plus two dressing rooms.
