Welcome! Step up to the Bar. A beverage is yours for the asking. And while you're here, thumb through the Kaleidescape Movie database and pick your favorite Blu-ray movie. Thousands to choose from. The lovely ticket taker with a determined look upon her face awaits. Drop two bits onto the counter and head inside. There isn't a bad seat in the house but you seem to be the adventerous type. For you, why not a lively D-Box seat for an extra dimension? You see, D-Box cinema seats allows you to- oh wait.

The lights are dimming. Shhhh. The show is about to start. We'll talk later.

Back in 1756, one Dr. Thomas Stewart strolled across his sugar plantation along the gentle and scenic coastline of the Island of Nevis. He surveyed the fields, watching the Nevisian workers as they toiled in the sun. Reaching down to his feet, he plucked a branch from the molten soil and tossed it high and long for his sheep dog, Archibald. Life was good.

Fast forward a quarter of a Millennium. Today, the soil of Nevis, BVI is no longer used for the production of sugar and about the only thing flying through the air are Titleist golf balls over the fairways of the Robert Trent Jones II tracks. But the view has remained unchanged and it was this view that seduced one of our clients into building his dream home on what is now known as Stewarts Estate.

We of course were honored that he would choose to fly us 2000 miles to design, install and program his residential systems. The installation teams all spent a minimum of two weeks on site while the programmers begged to go back a few extra times just to “tweak” things!

A quarter of a Millennium has passed but on Stewarts Estate, life is still good. Maybe even better.

This three story home begins on the tenth floor, unfolds upward two more levels into the Boston sky and is decidedly one of our all time favorites. From the twelfth floor gynasium overlooking the city of Boston in three out of four compass points, to the eleventh floor outdoor media lounge and barbeque deck all the way to the inviting sculpted tub flanked by intelligent light and shade control; sometimes home is near heaven.
