And the deeper you go, the stranger it gets.The living room. Originally designed by a local architect in the mid-'60s, the home was completely reimagined in 2002 and again in 2024, fusing mid-century bones with eclectic modern finishes.The dining room. The result? About 5,000 square feet spread across three and a half levels, with five bedrooms, five bathrooms, two kitchens, and four separate entrances.The foyer.&nb...
