For this stately three-story Georgian home, Gil Walsh of Gil Walsh Interiors took a more informal approach at the request of the owners who wanted
a comfortable place to raise their child and entertain friends and business
colleagues. The décor does not follow the
strict dictates of the Georgian style but is slightly less formal, giving a
feeling of warmth and luxurious comfort to the public and private rooms. With 16 rooms, in addition to servant’s
quarters, Walsh reconfigured the third floor, creating
two additional guest suites and a home office.
The lower level was redesigned into a large entertainment room with
requisite walk-in wine cellar.
