This five bedroom, seven bath home was name House of the Week by Wall Street Journal. The home was built in 1978. The current owners are primary residents and purchased the home in 1996, which at that point was a "dump of a house," as described by the owners and half the size. The 2,600 square foot home was run down and not maintained, however when Mr. Heymen Heynen and Mr. Sobol viewed the property's deck, the were completely sold on the view. Mr Heymen Heynen is an architect and oversaw the renovation of this home, which involved doubling the square footage and drastically changing the floor plan. Little of the original 2,600 square foot home exists today. The renovation took nearly eight years navigating through the strict building regulations to complete.
