Absolutely Glorious Georgian Manor House

On a quiet, private lane close to town near Deer Park, this memorable home, originally built for one of the leading families of town, has been renovated and reconstructed to an incredible standard by the internationally famed architect, Allan Greenberg, known for exquisite, classical architecture in the United States, Europe, and the Middle East

The driveway leads through iron gates in the tall stone wall to the walled entrance courtyard. A classical pediment highlights the front door with a lovely leaded glass fanlight into the broad front-to-back center hall with an arched shell display cabinet opposite the beautiful circular stairway with a long window, and a wonderful series of arched doorways on-axis through the center of the house. The grand living room with a high ceiling has several steps down with two exposures including a floor-to-ceiling bay window with french doors outside, a fireplace and exceptional detailing throughout. There is an arched doorway with a fanlight into the classical library with a fireplace, bookcases, a wet bar and secondary access to a side hall with wonderful built-in cabinets and a door to the front courtyard. The formal dining room has a fireplace and a floor-to-ceiling bay window for a smaller table and french doors to the terrace. There is a charming study or office with bookcases and lovely sunny windows. The heart of the house for today’s living is the gorgeous, family room with a fireplace, three exposures including a tall Palladian window at each end, french doors to a walled side terrace, and a cheerful casual eating area adjoining the sun filled kitchen with a comprehensive pantry, the side entrance, and the back stairway. Upstairs is a superb curved landing at the top of the main stairway and a cheerful library or sitting room. The master suite is in a wing with a lovely bedroom with a fireplace, a dressing room and a luxurious bathroom. There are three additional ensuite bedrooms, plus three more bedrooms on the third floor with a lovely wide stairway and a large family room or office with access to storage areas.
