Part 8/12:
Walking through the estate reveals a masterful integration of indoor and outdoor living. Outside, a sprawling pool and a guest studio add to the estate’s luxury. Inside, the main hall features a rounded subterranean gallery that overlooks a mosaic-tiled fountain, setting a serene tone.
The library, lined with built-in bookcases and a cozy fireplace, opens onto a lanai—an idyllic space for enjoying the lake scenery. Adjacent is the formal dining room, decorated with murals painted by Bartlett’s son, Frederick Clay Bartlett, a prominent artist. This personal touch underscores the estate’s familial significance, transforming it from mere retreat to a treasured legacy.
