The entrance room has an inlaid starburst in the foyer. Clear glass retro-style doorknobs and attractive nickel and stainless hardware are included in the house.

The master bedroom has water views. With 5 bedrooms and 7 baths and staff quarters, there is a 3-car garage, guest cottage and 167 feet of waterfront. The house was landmarked by the Town of Palm Beach in 1992. It has a U-shaped floor plan built around a central patio.
