The lure of Yellow Breeches country (historically the home of some of North Americas most prized fish and game) unveils this English Tudor-styled, storybook castle. Scenically perched atop a cleared bluff, the grand approach to this magnificent domain heightens the excitement of what will be discovered within its stone-clad walls. The generous entrance leads to the dazzling marble-floored central reception hall. From here, the homes custom oak, spiraled staircase descends to the state-of-the-art family room, complete with a tavern bar reminiscent of an old English pub. From the reception hall, the elegant state rooms radiate through gracious French doors, each deeply textured and crisply styled for living, dining and relaxation.
The house was personally designed by the current owners, who with the help of an architect, painstakingly pieced together sections, features and elevations from a host of plan concepts to design this totally unique and architecturally successful domestic creation. Especially effective is the drive-through passageway to the rear of the house reminiscent of an old English courtyard. All of this was achieved by exceeding the intent of seven pages of restrictive covenants on the property to ensure that the best and highest-quality residential development would be placed on the site.
The owners even selected the quarry from which to extract the kind of stone they wished for the homes exterior. Situated on five and one fifth acres in a way to maximize the energy benefits of its passive solar design, this Residence stands as a contemporary landmark: the kind of house that is similar today to its historic-revival-styled predecessors of yesteryear which comprise the ever-evolving fabric of significant American architecture.
This passive solar design home features family room and game room, 5 bedrooms, 5 full baths and 2 half baths including the 2 story in-law suite, sunken sun room, 5 fireplaces, full finished walkout lower level with 12 foot ceilings and full bar with draft system, weight room, playroom, sauna, multiple decks, hot tub, 5 zone geothermal HVAC system, and more!
