A Forrest Theriot Original Sells for $5M

The design firm Bob Audrey led the recent reimagining, and it is a restoration with a point of view rather than a flip. Restored beams carry custom rosewood and oak millwork, built ins upholstered in mohair, and a collection of 1960s Murano glass fixtures by Carlo Nason that gives the interiors a provenance of their own.

The kitchen is centered on a custom rosewood island under skylights, with Japanese tiled countertops, Bertazzoni appliances, and Waterworks fixtures. The baths carry the same hand of material: custom Japanese tile throughout, and a wood wrapped sunken tub in the primary finished in hand painted Italian bird tiles.

The pool sits in front of the house, and more than a third of an acre of newly landscaped grounds runs behind it in garden terraces, lawns, and tropical planting. A cactus garden Theriot planted in the 1960s has been preserved within the new landscape, and a separate pool house adds a built in office, a queen platform, and a fourth bath.
