With notability in both custom home design and building, as well as real estate, Slavin is a name not to forget.

"Shake siding, a sloped roofline, and an asymmetrical layout may put you in mind of the Hamptons upon arriving at the Slavin residence. But there’s a saying about first impressions -- and there’s far more to discover here than can be revealed at first glance…

In the living room to the immediate right, a vintage French light fixture bursts like champagne bubbles from the blue-lacquered ceiling.
