Built in 1957 by the family behind Wonder Bread it was later expanded by former Eli Lilly & Co. CEO, Richard Wood and recently underwent a meticulous, comprehensive renovation seamlessly blending timeless craftsmanship with sophisticated modern luxury. The heart of the home features an open, seamless entertaining space anchored by a custom kitchen with Fahrenbacher cabinetry, a Thermador appliance suite, and exquisite quartzite counters.

The legendary South Wing, designed by celebrated cultural landmark architect Jonathan Hess and built by premier commercial contractor Wilhelm, introduces a light-filled tea room with a new copper dome, private offices, and elevator access. The hand-carved woodwork in the Loggia by master artisan P.K. Smith beautifully emulates the style of English master carver Grinling Gibbons. Expansive windows frame breathtaking views of museum-quality grounds officially recognized in the Smithsonian Institute's Gardens of America, complete with an iconic central fountain. A rare, once-in-a-generation masterpiece of history, unparalleled craftsmanship, and modern lifestyle refinement. Welcome home to Sunset Lane.
