Superbly Renovated Carriage House Close to Town
|
The broad driveway leads through handsome gates to the entrance courtyard. Paved in flagstone and bordered by dry stone walls, this inviting courtyard has a wide flagstone walkway to a front terrace with sitting walls. The entrance hall/sitting room rises almost two stories with a herringbone oak floor, glass-fronted cabinetry and tall bookcases - this adjoins the study with many built-ins overlooking the gardens. Etched glass doors open to the spectacular living room with a high beadboard ceiling, a fireplace and glass doors to the terrace with a lush pergola opening to level lawns with a waterfall and fountains in a memorable, private garden. The dining area is generous, designed for entertaining, and it also has doors to the long terrace. The family room/kitchen with a beamed ceiling has a fireplace in the sitting area with east and south views, and the work area has every top-of-the-line appliance plus an island with stools and a breakfast area in a bay with neat views of fountains and the garden. There is a second new kitchen designed for catering adjoining the rear entrance coming from the garage area with a mudroom, one of two powder rooms and a delightful greenhouse/conservatory with a glass ceiling, plus there is an elevator to the upstairs as well as the front and the back stairway. The master suite has a fireplace, a peaked ceiling, an updated bathroom with a steam shower and Kohler Body Spa, plus heated floors and amazing closet space. It adjoins the large guest suite which has a new bathroom, a study area and a sitting area. These rooms could become a very elaborate master suite, plus there are three charming additional bedrooms. The custom lighting is stunning throughout the house, and there are many delightful details including herringbone floors, Venetian plaster walls, beadboard ceilings and original beams.
