PRIVATE RETREATS
On the third floor, Grochowski
combined “his” and “hers” bathrooms
into one large, luxurious oasis tailored
to the couple, who are tall. Amenities
include two vanities, four shower
heads, a separate toilet room, open
double glass shower, hidden drawers
and iridescent globe lighting; three
dormers let in natural light as well. If
the mood for a bath strikes, there’s
a freestanding resin tub. The 12-foot
by 24-foot floor and the herringbone
tile of the walls are made of marble.
(Above) “The planting design relied
heavily on boxwood hedging backed
with colorful flowering shrubs and
perennials,” says Mierop. Large cypress
trees were planted to close off the
driveway; the motor court, with its
free-standing brick-and-stucco wall,
was enhanced with new roses, more
boxwoods and panicle hydrangeas. ■
