A Modernist fantasy built in Westport Connecticut. This premier location affords the home spectacular water views from 3 of 5 levels, including the pièce de résistance - a rooftop deck with a full kitchen and 180 degree views. Constructed of steel, wood, and glass, this home was passionately designed to celebrate modern architecture and the raw elements of nature, with unparalleled amenities. The result is a veritable feast for the Body, Mind, and Spirit. Inside, your wellness playground awaits with a regulation squash court/half basketball court, a celestial yoga room with Iyengar rope wall, a free-form gym wrapped in 10ft windows, and the crown jewel, an indoor chemical-free pool & spa enclosed in a glass conservatory with retractable roofs for year-round indulgence. The living spaces play out on three levels, each open to a central stairway sculpted from wood and steel and surrounded by textured glass. Showcased in the middle is an original, four-story Foucault Pendulum suspended from the star-studded ceiling. On the main floor, living and dining seamlessly commingle, elevating the idea beyond a simple great room, while the neon words of Walt Whitman shine boldly above the Italian Boffi kitchen - announcing to all who gather here: This is a space for Joy. We call it Xanadu which means "an idealized place of magnificence and beauty."
