Turn-of-the-Century Details

BEST IN CENTRAL REGION & GOLD AWARD FOR BEST ONE-OF-A-KIND CUSTOM HOME

Gracefully sited on a 1 1/3-acre lot and surrounded by mature hardwood trees, this home expresses the themes of New England shingle-style architecture with its abundant use of shake and cobblestone detailing and groups of large windows. The antique architectural elements include doors, medicine cabinets and an Eastlake walnut newel post - a form that is replicated throughout the main staircase.

The foyer features 24-foot cathedral ceilings, rich cherry wood beams, oversize custom trim, built-ins and columns. It draws visitors into a great room with ledgestone-wrapped walls and toward the kitchen, which makes it own statement with distressed knotty alder cabinetry and granite and stone accents.
