The combined residence will span 8,386 square feet and feature interiors designed by Peter Pennoyer Architects, who selected traditional finishes like custom-designed mantelpieces surrounding each living room’s fireplace and bespoke kitchen cabinetry designed in collaboration with Christopher Peacock. The buyer made the purchase sight-unseen.
