Vogue Interiors Designs a Luxury Estate in Livingston Woods for McGarvey Custom Homes

Set on an expansive 2.77-acre estate along Bottlebrush Lane, this extraordinary residence is a masterclass in refined living—where architecture, interior design, and craftsmanship converge to create a home of enduring elegance. Designed and fully furnished by Vogue Interiors for McGarvey Custom Homes, the property consists of a grand main residence of 6,056 square feet under air and a beautifully appointed guest house of 1,662 square feet under air, all conceived with a unified vision of luxury, comfort, and authenticity.

From the moment one enters the estate, it becomes clear that this home is not simply designed, it is curated.

A Grand Welcome

The foyer sets the tone with a sense of scale and warmth befitting a true estate. Rich wood paneling wraps both ceiling and walls, layered with tone-on-tone wallcoverings that add depth without excess. Wood flooring with shellstone inserts echoes the front entry, creating a seamless transition from exterior to interior. A striking wood and iron starburst chandelier anchors the space, while a sculptural bench and console invite guests into a home that is both impressive and welcoming.

Elevated Living for Everyday Moments

In the great room, architectural artistry takes center stage. A custom slat wood ceiling introduces texture and rhythm overhead, complemented by a dramatic organic chandelier that feels sculptural yet restrained. The custom wood media wall, designed with illuminated art sections, display niches, and grasscloth wallcovering, transforms functionality into visual poetry. Furniture and layout were intentionally curated to foster connection, making the space ideal for both intimate gatherings and memorable family moments.

A Kitchen Designed to Perform and Inspire

The kitchen continues the ceiling motif established in the great room, reinforcing visual continuity throughout the home. Organic wood pendants float above the island, where luxury stone countertops provide both beauty and durability. Custom-designed cabinetry, paired with an expansive butler’s pantry, ensures the space functions as effortlessly as it looks. A glazed backsplash introduces subtle luminosity, elevating the room from utilitarian to exceptional.

Dining with Distinction

In the dining room, a sophisticated entertaining environment is centered around a custom bar area. Cork wallcovering adds warmth and acoustic softness, while backlit shelving highlights curated glassware and art objects. Two elegant wood chandeliers frame the space overhead, and a striking wine tower with cabinetry below the counter underscores the home’s emphasis on refined hospitality.

A Study That Feels Like a Private Library

The study offers a moment of introspection and quiet luxury. A criss-crossed wood beam ceiling brings architectural interest overhead, while an emerald green accent wall, carried through niches and custom cabinetry, evokes the timeless character of a private library. It is a space designed for focus, creativity, and retreat.

A Private Sanctuary

The owner’s suite is conceived as a true retreat. A morning bar tucked into the hallway before the bedroom entrance allows for quiet moments of coffee or evening refreshment, framed by a full-wall tiled backsplash. Inside the bedroom, continuous paneling flows from the bed wall to the ceiling in soft mushroom tones, paired with suede-textured wallcovering behind an upholstered bed. A generous seating area, subtly separated from the sleeping space, creates a serene reading and relaxation zone.

The owner’s bath continues the sense of indulgence with a dramatic porcelain slab focal wall, soft mushroom-toned cabinetry, and a sculptural freestanding tub. A spacious shower, accented by gold fixtures and elegant sconces, rests atop expansive limestone-patterned flooring and wall tile, balancing grandeur with tranquility.

Seamless Outdoor Living

Designed to extend the home’s luxury outdoors, the covered living areas feature a textured tile fireplace and dropped ceiling “clouds” that define seating and dining zones. Oversized sectionals set atop a sisal rug create a relaxed yet refined atmosphere, while a full outdoor kitchen and bar, anchored by a beautifully detailed island, transforms the space into an entertainer’s dream.

The Guest House: Private, Polished, Purposeful

The guest house, though secondary in scale, mirrors the estate’s elevated design language. Architectural drywall beams in contrasting paint add dimension, while thoughtfully selected flooring, countertops, and cabinetry maintain continuity with the main residence. The great room palette of greens, ivory, and black feels fresh yet timeless, complemented by a textured area rug. Two executive bedrooms, each with a distinct personality, feature layered materials such as wicker canopy beds, metallic and wicker light fixtures, and a sophisticated mix of gold accents, deep greens, and black detailing, ensuring guests enjoy a stay that feels both luxurious and personal.

A Collaborative Vision Realized

This exceptional estate reflects the collaborative effort of the Vogue Interiors design team, with Christie Heeb and Ed Jordan creating the interior design and Stacy Jonsson overseeing project management. More than individual credits, however, the home stands as a testament to Vogue Interiors’ holistic, team-driven approach—where every detail is thoughtfully considered and every space tells a cohesive story.
