A supreme reproduction of the neoclassical architectural style that swept Europe in the 1700s, 1230 West Garmon Road mirrors the exterior design of Paris’s Le Petit Trianon chapel in Versailles that epitomized the trend on completion in 1772. Passing through wrought iron gates to enter the property, visitors are first greeted by meticulously landscaped gardens and a two story marble entrance hall with an elegant black marble fountain at its heart. The main living spaces exude timeless elegance, evident in the banquet-sized formal dining room adorned with chandeliers. Perfect for entertaining, visitors can explore an elegant wood-paneled library/office, a grand kitchen complete with a 10-burner gas range, a double oven, and all high end appliances, or the grand living room that opens to the walkout pool and spa terrace. An enclosed breezeway connects the pool house and the home’s main level, which includes a gym, wine cellar and family room overlooking the walkout pool and spa. Featuring seven bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, the property makes for a versatile option as a palatial retreat or an elegant setting for hosting guests.
Beyond functionality and versatility, the estate is an aesthetic wonder whose interior design captures the timeless elegance of the great European palaces. Finely crafted chandeliers float above gilded fixtures, while polished wood and lacquered marble furnishings set a tone of thoughtful opulence. Even amidst all this Old-World charm, the residence comes equipped with modern appliances and conveniences, functioning as a “smart home” for modern living.
"Homes of this European palatial style—especially ones that so meticulously honor their architectural inspiration—are a true rarity in the United States," said Akers. "The estate’s architectural authenticity and intricate design make it far more than a residence; it’s a piece of art, and for a property of this caliber, reaching a truly discerning audience is key. Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions provides us with the ideal platform to connect with buyers who value such artistry and exclusivity.”
