Fabulous Round Hill Estate
|
Magnificent gates open through the dry stone wall to this estate. Belgian block gutters border the driveway as it leads to the stone paved courtyard with a handsome stone balustrade and a three-tier fountain. The two-story portico has glorious carved detailing in the pediment and a balcony is above the welcoming front door with an arched transom light and divided sidelights. The center hall with a grand curving stairway runs front to back with arched french doors to the two-story verandah overlooking the grounds. The formal living room with a fireplace has french doors to the verandah as does the family room with a fireplace adjoining the superb country kitchen with a La Cornue stove and a sun-filled window bay in the breakfast room. The formal dining room has a fireplace and a hall with repeating archways leads to the mahogany panelled library with a fireplace and a wet bar, a sitting room with a bay window, a wet bar, an Amdega solarium with a cathedral ceiling in glass and the major step-down living room with a fireplace and french doors to the side verandah. There are two powder rooms and a mudroom with access to garaging for six cars. Upstairs is a sensational master wing with a fireplace, french doors to a balcony, two elaborate dressing rooms and two luxurious bathrooms. There are six additional en suite bedrooms plus two upstairs family rooms, another sitting room between two of the bedrooms as a suite in a wing and a study, while the lower level has an exercise room, a billiards room, two playrooms and a powder room. The property is really special with a beautiful pool surrounded by terraces and a charming columned garden gazebo. The views from this unique estate are over miles of countryside - the most unusual and wonderful sense of space, particularly dramatic at sunset.
