Buying an interior designer’s house is a smart move; you purchase a well-executed look with high-quality fittings and all the storage and clever touches you could dream of. Here at Somers, this low-maintenance house is built around a courtyard and deck and, inside, it has two wings with one essentially a self-contained one-bedroom unit with its own entry, living room and kitchenette. The wings are linked from a central foyer and the main living room is to the right of this. A huge room, with dining and sitting areas delineated by double-sided Jetmaster fireplaces, it extends to an exquisite kitchen.
