Design Description
This traditionally designed English Manor inspired home is beautifully sited on acreage surrounded by formal gardens planted with boxwood, hydrangea, and roses that extend to manicured lawns and wooded acreage beyond. The approach is along a private drive that winds gently to allow views of the home, and continues through the porte-cochere to the motor courtyard at the rear of the home. A large 2-car garage is attached to the home, with an additional 2-car garage attached by the porte-cochere, allowing the garage doors to face into the rear motor courtyard and elongating the footprint of the home appropriate for the extensive acreage. The floor planning of the home is traditional, classic and ordered with beautifully designed symmetrical spaces that open to each other, allowing expansive site lines throughout the home. The classic, symmetrical concept of the floor plan is established upon first entering the home with the mahogany front-entry doors of the spacious foyer on centerline with the dramatically scaled limestone fireplace of the gathering room beyond. White-painted, paneled millwork delineates the spaces. The floating circular staircase on the South wall is on centerline with the formal dining room on the opposing wall, further reinforcing the classic symmetry of the plan.
