Romantic Belle Haven Victorian

|
The gardens, lawns and flowering trees are spectacular in all seasons. The driveway sweeps between lighted stone pillars to a Belgian block lined driveway with a circle, then the columned porte cochere with stone paving and the romantic front verandah with a mahogany floor - a perfect spot to sit sheltered from the sun. The entrance living room or music room with a fireplace has a large bay window and a broad stairway with a lovely, tall Tiffany stained glass window in marvelous bright colors which rises one-and-one-half stories from the landing. The living room or family room with a fireplace and a window bay with columns opens to the porch, and the dining room with a fireplace and an arched, coffered ceiling has a Palladian window and french doors to the outside. Featured in a magazine, the step-down library with a fireplace and a bay window is panelled in teak with elaborate built-ins, including a chart table desk, and it is reminiscent of a grand era yacht such as the famed "AMERICA" of America's Cup fame, complete with teak and holly floors, a barrel ceiling and brass light fixtures. The kitchen with a fireplace has incredible charm, a sun-filled octagonal sitting and eating area and clerestory windows - it was featured on the cover of Gourmet magazine! The master suite has a sitting room with a bay window, a bedroom with a fireplace, french doors to a deck and two lovely bathrooms. There are five bedrooms and four new bathrooms, each with great character, on the second and third floors plus a two-room nanny suite with a wet bar and a second laundry. The lower level has a playroom, a game area, the main laundry, a wine cellar and a huge cedar room for storage. The guest house has a living room or billiards room with an arched window over french doors to a balcony, a bedroom, a new bath and a wet bar plus a workroom, a lavatory and three garages. Only 112 properties enjoy all the benefits of Belle Haven with walking and bicycling right from the door on traffic free roads with private security, and access to the water at the end of the street.
