New England Colonial Revival

Built for clients requesting a traditional American country residence, this Colonial Revival Style home features classic yet restrained detailing. Four brick chimneys anchor the five-bay-wide central main block, while pediment dormers with arched windows embellish the wood shingle roof. Elegant side wings, porches, a breezeway, and a whimsical barn-like garage seem to have been developed over time, creating a classic New England feel.

While the front of the home dictates a prescribed overall form, the asymmetrical rear is well suited for a family who enjoys casual outdoor living and entertaining. Projecting side wings enclose the main terrace and provide porches for additional covered seating.

Principal rooms retain a traditional classic elegance that corresponds with the front elevation. The continuous curved wood handrail at the entry staircase delivers an understated elegance to the entry hall and a befitting introduction to the remainder of the house. The dining and living rooms are set in a formal arrangement, each with a fireplace centered on the elliptical arches from the entry hall. A distinctive English pub inspired billiards room and adjoining paneled library feature a custom iron and brass spiral staircase to the wine cellar beneath. Comprising some 11,000 square feet, the house encourages an assortment of formal and casual living and entertainment options.
