This estate was built in 1929 by Walter Strong as a family home to share with his wife, Blythe. Expense was no object as the owners curated the best of 1920 period features and employed expert architects to create a mansion in the popular Spanish Colonial Revival style. Highpoints of this attention to detail include hand-stamped tiles, timeless décor, ornate fireplaces, a grand staircase, and a stunning balcony with a view of the gardens. The Manor House contains a grand hall with chandeliers, oversized windows, a private patio area, and two dressing suites. The pavilion has a cathedral ceiling adorned with iron chandeliers and double French doors, bringing the beauty of the outside indoors. The adjoining courtyard features a cozy fireplace, high-end furnishings, and Spanish revival architecture.
