FRONT ELEVATION

The French country style is accented with hand-chopped limestone and inset antique bricks to resemble the canonball patches commonly seen in the French countryside. Over 55 tons of large boulders were set into the hillside to create three waterfalls and two winding sets of natural stone steps leading to the front entryway. The front door is illuminated with two gas lanterns, and wrought iron railings line the two upstairs balconies.

FRONT ELEVATION BY NIGHT

By evening, the home exudes character. The gas lights provide a soft glow over the natural stone walkways, and the three waterfalls glisten in the reflections of the home.

FRONT WATERFALLS

The two central waterfalls flow into a common pond directly below the wrought iron railings of the front terrace.

FRONT STEPS BY NIGHT

The evening brings special allure with the huge natural rock steps casting shadows from the gas lights above.

FRONT ENTRY

The front terrace is raised above a hillside of boulders and beautiful landscaping.

INSIDE FRONT ENTRY

The heavy wooden front door opens into a world surrounded by 200-year-old French antique doors, hand-scraped wood floors, hand-carved plaster ceiling moldings, hand wrought iron light fixtures and heavily textured plaster walls.

ENTRY CEILING

Hand-carved plaster moldings underscore the artistic painting and hand-wrought iron balustrades of the entry balcony. Subtle cove lighting illuminates the tasteful oval dome above the huge iron chandelier with real wax candle-lights.

DINING ROOM FROM ENTRY

The artistic dining room reflects the designer's concept with deep faux painted walls, heavy antiqued trim, wood floors, large iron chandelier, and a hand-carved plaster ceiling. The ceiling was fashioned after an old estate south of London and took several weeks for five carvers to complete by hand.

PANELED ARCHWAY FROM DINING ROOM

A hand-crafted archway of English panels leads from the dining room into to the bar area. The panels were custom built by hand from hardwoods and were sanded and painted seven times to achieve the perfect finish.

LIBRARY/STUDY

The beautiful library/study features 200 year-old antique doors imported from an old French estate, and the intricate wood work illustrates the months of hand-crafted care. The room includes an antique stained glass window below the 20 foot ceilings and a wood-burning Isokern fireplace with granite surround with a hand-made wood mantel.
