Winner of multiple awards (including recognition at the 2010 American Residential Design Awards in the Published Designs category), this Visbeen Architects home boasts a timeless façade. Inspired by both the relaxed Shingle Style that swept the East Coast at the turn of the century and the all-American Four Square style found around the country, it features Old World architecture and modern conveniences as well as unparalleled craftsmanship and quality design. The curb appeal starts at the street, where a caramel-colored shingle and stone facade invite you inside from the European-style courtyard. Other highlights include irregularly shaped windows, a charming dovecote, cupola and a variety of welcoming window boxes on the street side. The rear includes two porches designed to take full advantage of views, a lower-level walk out and stone arches that lend an aura of both elegance and permanence. Step inside, and the interiors won’t disappoint. A spacious foyer with wood staircase leads into a large, open living room with natural stone fireplace, rustic beams and nearby walk-out deck. Also adjacent is a screened-in porch with access to both decks. The nearby kitchen includes a large multi-purpose island ideal for both entertaining and food preparation, as well as an informal dining area perfect for gathering both family and friends. Leaving the home’s family area, cross the foyer and enter your private retreat, a master bedroom suite with a large master bath as well as a private sitting room and sunroom. Who needs vacation when it’s such a pleasure staying home? The second floor features two cozy bedrooms, a bunk room with built-in sleeping areas and a convenient home office. In the lower level, a relaxed family room, billiards area, pub with wine cellar, and two additional bedrooms await.
