features playrooms and kid-friendly options 
aplenty. 

Not to be forgotten, of course, is the space 

solely dedicated to the grown-up members 
of the family; and the master suite is easily at 
the top of Lauren’s favorite places at home. 
“Our master bedroom is my serene place,” 
she says. “The decor and color palette give 
me a feeling of tranquility, creating a real 
place of escape that’s serene and private.” 
Coffered ceilings in the bedroom are inlaid in 
wood, drawing the eye upward and playing 
in harmonious accord with oak flooring. 
Mere steps away, a fretwork of Italian 
marble imbues the master bath with spa-like 
opulence, setting off the cast iron soaking tub 
to make it a showpiece.    

From the patterned turf leading up the 

drive to the backyard patio and each inch and 
foot in between, every aspect of the Vlahos 
home was selected with care and sourced 
with much purpose and intent. Theirs is a 
cloud of light and air, softly sleek in its way, 
a respite of comfort and calm. And for this 
young family, it’s a place of peace to learn 
and grow and play, a place to take a breath, a 
blank canvas for making memories for years 
to come.
