A new house on Ella Lee Lane

The ground floor is planned around a single long axis from the front porch through the foyer to the covered patio and pool, with the formal rooms on one side and the working kitchen on the other. A scullery kitchen, walk-in pantry, and wine room sit behind the main kitchen so the island and breakfast nook stay clear when the house is full. The office and library share a double-sided fireplace with the dining room.

Upstairs, the primary suite takes the quiet rear corner with two dressing rooms and a bath with a freestanding tub and separate showers. Three more bedrooms, each with its own bath, and a laundry room complete the second floor. The third floor holds a fifth bedroom suite, a game and theater room, and a covered terrace.

Every floor is served by the elevator and a sweeping stair. The exterior is brick with cast stone framing and accents around the windows, and a four-panel sliding glass wall nearly twenty feet wide opens the great room to the outdoor kitchen and covered patio.
