Built by renowned builder Lee Wetherington as his private residence, this custom home is a testament to exceptional style and meticulous attention to detail. Fully renovated in 2022 by the current owner, Nikki Sedacca, an esteemed interior designer and local jewelry designer and gallery owner, the exquisite residence offers an exclusive living experience where every aspect has been thoughtfully curated and executed to perfection.

The captivating interiors seamlessly blend beauty and functionality. The entrance welcomes you with forged iron doors leading to an ultra-private courtyard featuring a heated pool, cascading spa under bistro lighting, and a fully outfitted outdoor kitchen. This enchanting space is perfect for intimate gatherings and provides a seamless indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining guests.

The kitchen is a culinary dream, boasting top-of-the-line Miele appliances, custom cabinetry, and elegant stone backsplash and countertops.

The primary suite is a haven of elegance, featuring designer wallpaper, French doors leading to a balcony with backyard views, and a luxurious Carrera marble bathroom with a walk-in shower, soaking tub and custom closets.

Nikki Sedacca, the current owner, invested over $100,000 in built-ins alone, specifically designed for showcasing art and sculpture, making this home a true collector's paradise. Known for her exquisite wirework and distinct creative expression, Sedacca's jewelry creations are inspired by the beauty of the world, incorporating precious gems, pearls, and precious metals into gleaming, hand-crafted pieces. From showpieces to family heirlooms, her work is featured in select boutiques locally and around the world.
