Defined by top-quality craftsmanship this exquisite home blends Old World elements with modern-day appointments creating inviting spaces for relaxing and entertaining. The driveway to Villa Measured is aggregate stone and concrete. The Cottage was constructed on 35-50 foot pilings, and built with load-bearing masonry walls, Ludowici terra-cotta clay roof tiles, stone balusters, precast concrete floor panels, and Medici yellow stucco. There are 12-foot ceilings, limestone columns, Ron Batton custom millwork, and copper finishings. There is lightning protection on this cottage. It was designed with Musee Rodin's home in Paris, France in mind. The views from the upper and lower loggia areas overlook a vanishing edge pool with a 7-foot depth and hot tub. The additional 1100 sq ft Guest accommodations are easily accessed from the second floor and the main floor of the Cottage. The custom front gate, front door, and interior handrails were all designed by Jerry Grice. As you enter the front Portico to the terra-cotta tiled foyer and limestone columns you look straight through the house to the marsh and riverfront. There are 3 interior fireplaces, 2 gas, and one wood burning. The mantles are Chesneys. The Fourth fireplace is in the outside loggia and is wood-burning. Two Interior "Fire Sculptures" were designed, handmade, and numbered by Cathy Burkman, an artist in London, and designed to softly crackle and pop to simulate a sense of light, sound, and feel. The spacious living room and dining room open up to a great room connected to the kitchen and vaulted breakfast room. The South primary wing has a separate Study with custom millwork and bookcases, his and her dressing areas, and an exercise room. The double doors from the Primary bedroom open out to the marsh and limestone terrace. The second floor has 5 bedrooms, and two limestone terraces separated by the Marsh room. There is a tennis rebound court on site. Dock application permitting has been initiated and should be forthcoming. The finished floor elevation is 16 1/2 feet.
