Entrance of bas relief decorations, silversmith-style finials, tapered columns and balcony with classical underside shell motif. Paneled library and ladies lounge flank the foyer and grand reception solarium, with black and white marble floor, 20 foot ceilings accented with coffered panels, and arched french doors with views of the outdoor terrace and reflection pond with fountain. Living Room with cast-cement wide mouth fireplace and hand-painted stenciled ceiling. French doors lead to a serene terrace complete with Spanish fountain and Della-Robbia ceramic tile mosaic.

Primary suite with sleeping terrace, as well as his/her bathrooms. Three additional bedrooms in the main residence. A robust Spanish courtyard arcade with wrought iron plant holders, covered walkway with three Moravian star pendant lights leads to the Guest House with third story observatory - with rustic stone fireplace, bar, 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom and attached to the 2-car garage. An additional one-bedroom Casita with kitchen and picture window floods the living room with natural light.An olympic-size pool with a broad flagstone deck anchors the expansive grounds. A plethora of plant species, meandering paths, patios and water features abound. Whimsical faux bois Tea house designed in 1929 by a Japanese artisan. Additional outbuildings, including changing rooms service both the estate and its guests. A treasure representative of Williams' early style - personifying true grace and understated elegance.
