The Royal Residence — Type L

The reception rises through two storeys, its mezzanine wrapped in slim white glazing bars and mirrored glass that catch a gold sputnik above and a crystal chandelier below. A curved cream sofa curls around low stone tables, banked with domed red roses that draw the eye toward a formal dining table beneath a long crystal-and-brass fixture. Behind it, a black-and-white toile mural of woodland scenery lines the wall, framing a wine display set into deep red marble.

Elsewhere the house is styled for entertaining. A games room pairs olive-velvet chairs and a marble chess table against backlit brass cabinetry and dramatic green-veined marble, while a neighbouring lounge lines its shelves with trophies and a wine cabinet, softened by a pair of black-and-white bouclé chairs. In the family living room a sea-green sectional carries rust and moss cushions; the breakfast room stays bright and calm, with a round marble table, tweed and cream chairs, and an organic glass-bubble chandelier over a waterfall island.

The private rooms trade drama for hush. The master suite sets a channel-panelled headboard wall aglow with cove light, dressed with a tan leather chaise, a houndstooth ottoman and a spotted monochrome rug, a mirrored display cabinet catching the morning. A garden-view sitting room keeps things gentler still — deep-green velvet shell chairs, a low cream sofa and potted fig trees framed by a wall of blind-filtered windows.
