CLASSIC, OLD-WORLD AND WELCOMING

Tradition and a well-studied past are the keys to making this grand country house an example of the finest in art and architecture. The inspiration for the home came from the grandeur and mastery of the noble manor houses of provincial France. Rich details abound, from the travertine wainscoting to the warm alder woodwork and paneling — and from the wrought iron detail in the grand entry and spiral staircase to the old-world appeal of the hand-scraped Amish walnut floors — this home stays true to its heritage.

The modern-day vision of the home’s architect is what gives it a warm, welcoming personality. The spirit of brick and stone as art was successfully revived, evident in the kitchen, the home’s heart. Warm granite and sandstone frame a perfectly appointed space by master cabinetmaker William Ohs. The kitchen’s cozy appeal centers around a hearth that would easily adorn any of the king’s country estates.
