Tory Burch's Westerly
Design maven Tory Burch is no stranger to the spotlight when it comes to her homes. Her friend and trusted decorator, architect Daniel Romauldez, has designed all of her homes and her stores - including the beautiful Paris Flagship store. When Tory purchased her newest home, the estate built for business tycoon John W. Kiser in 1929 on Southampton's tony Ox Pasture Road, Daniel quickly got to work, and the house was featured in a small spread in Vogue the following year.
An areal photo of Westerly after completion. At this point, the house was actually named Sunset Court by the owner John W. Kiser, and his family. It wasn't until two seasons after the original opening of the 15,000 square foot summer "cottage", that the family renamed the home Westerly. The Kiser family lived at Westerly for over 20-years, until the late 1950's, when they sold the house to Philadelphia businessman Donald Stewart Leas, stepfather of socialite Fernanda Wanamaker.
Today Westerly looks a little different, doesn't it" Much more developed, with landscape fully realized, and other mansions dotting the landscape.
An old photo of the water gardens shows that Westerly had original landscaping that included a small pond.
When Tory bought the house, the pond was long gone, but the manicured hedge rows were still in tact.
Today, the gardens were redesigned by Tory and landscape designer Perry Guillot to make room for a large play/entertaining area.
I'm a fan ...
