The kitchen is more like a jewel box than a food-prep space, although it was designed with caterers in mind. Even at black tie parties everyone is in the kitchen so a drink area is added on the right with a stainless steel backsplash. Sitting at the island is almost like sitting at a well staged bar. Calcutta Luna marble topped island sits on the stainless steel legs...White laquered wood cabinetry has a fine aluminum edges..The island features mirror backed etch glass, which gives it a jewel-like luminosity...Sink-Julian...Faucets- Dornbracht...Double ovens, gas cooktop,refrigerator & freezer-Gaggenau...DishDrawer Dishwasher-Fischer & Paykel...Refrigerator drawers- SubZero.

Custom iron french doors lead to the dining alfresco area complete with bbq and a lush citrus orchard.

Inside, tall, light filled rooms unfold, one onto another, The spaces are light and creamy and restrained. Patterns repeat. Circles, squares and the classic Greek key designs appear on furniture, fabrics and architecture. The effect is calming and relaxing. The family room is another space of creamy comfort with custom crafted French iron doors looking onto the pool. Encircling this room, embedded in the molding is a series of convex mirrors forming a discrete sparkling border.

Boasting a marble tub, floors and the welcoming steam bath. Silk Australian window shades soften the rooms strong Hollywood Regency lines. Views look onto an English Garden. All cabinetry is custom made and designed by Herzlinger.

This light filled retreat - two walls are French doors that lead to the garden, swimming pool and view of Camelback. The expansive sensory gardens Hezlinger designed to be suggestive of the Tuileries. Pea-gravel paths wind through the arrangement of hedges and flowers with Camelback in the background. The room is a monochromatic blend of grays, black, crystal and white. The bed floats from the wall under a chandelier. A sheen of paint in the ceiling recess complements the gray and soft white palette.

It's a home where black tie works just as well as a pair of blue jeans. The mood is set when you pull into the Chicago brick herringbone pattern driveway and step onto the portico of the white classic home. Black and white striped canvas drapes hang between the portico columns and this pattern is repeated. The acre grounds include a citrus orchard on the east and on the western side an English garden.

The walls are upholstered in a rich gray fabric complementing the rosewood cabinetry. State of the art electronics include the security, lighting and sound system.

The flooring is Terrazzo in the main rooms with a pitted bronze quater inch liner. Ceilings are painted white with the classic Greek key design. French doors capture the Camelback Mountain views.

Period light fixtures are detailed through the home and mirrors reflect perfect images.

Herzlinger has composed this home with detailed period lighting. The dining room chandelier provides the contemporary edge.

A grouping of low back armchairs create a gathering spot in the home's entry-way, a space Herzlinger calls 'the lounge'. The space is ringed with clerestory windows and overhead is a domed ceiling with a round skylight. It's one of the many places that invite guests to lounge and chat. Herzlinger wants every room to encourage this kind of intimacy & impromptu conversation.

Each of the spacious guest suites have ensuites and enjoy views...

Custom iron french doors and windows open to the gardens. Herzlinger continues the circles and squares theme.

Patterns of circles and squares theme repeat in the powder bath where a cascade of crystal columns hang from the ceiling.
