CARRIAGE HOUSE IN BELLE HAVEN AREA$4,995,000 (select currency) |
A sublime orchestration of home and garden has been achieved at this premier setting in the Belle Haven area. Through the efforts of architect and designer, a classic 1925 shingle-style residence emerges, restored and enhanced with an addition completed in 2003. Ivy-clad stone pillars frame the long drive that leads past a broad green lawn showcasing a cedar grove and flowering fruit trees. Romance hits a high note as family and guests step from the European cobblestone courtyard into the beautifully scaled foyer. Natural light resonates throughout transom-capped six-over-one windows and multiple French doors. This elegant home reflects the character, craftsmanship and quality of the pre-war era while offering a sophisticated and contemporary lifestyle. Colorful perennial and evergreen gardens lace the grounds, inspiring a refined living environment featuring hand painted murals, exceptional millwork, rich wood paneling, radiant heated floors and three fireplaces. There is a master bedroom suite of superb proportions and a guesthouse. Free-form swimming pool, stone terraces and a charming pond are the crowning touches to this magnificent and private acre plus property.
