In the primary bedroom, a Crate and Barrel bed keeps company with a vintage Kurt Østervig chair and a George Nelson bench. The primary bathroom, graced with a big new window. The custom teak vanity is topped with quartz. Flooring from Ann Sacks . This goes double in the den, where the original walnut paneling now keeps company with a Jonathan Adler Desmond screen divider, and one can kick back on an Emmy sofa from Design Within Reach and set a drink down on a classic Richard Schultz Petal Table from Knoll. A casualness pervades the dining room, too. Framed at one end by a mirrored wall and built-in sideboard made of walnut, the table is surrounded by two Norman Cherner chairs, two George Nakashima grass-seat chairs and a pair of anonymous walnut chairs. The relatively compact, open-plan kitchen, which the homeowners spruced up with the addition of a built-in pantry, new quartz counters, custom cabinets and wide-plank European oak floors, still sports such Space Age features as a wall clock attached to the brick that surrounds the wall-mounted ovens. Pursuing a subtly studied approach, the homeowners have created an environment that speaks clearly to their taste and lifestyle. And as much as they love the rooms they’ve fashioned, they are perhaps even more taken with what lies beyond four walls. “Over time,” shares Marrone, “I really came to appreciate the vision of the landscape artist who built this home. Each room has a dialogue with its surroundings, and no matter the time of day or the season, the views are beautiful. It really has made me take the time to relax and slow down.”
