Situated on one of the most prestigious streets in the distinguished neighborhood of Highland Park, 3517 Beverly is a transitional residence built by Robert Elliott Custom Homes. Designed by notable architect David Stocker of Stocker Hoesterey Montenegro, the 3-story, 5-bedroom and 6-bathroom residence is characterized by ample living space and signature high-end finishes. An expansive driveway on the oversized lot leads to an entrance with a courtyard fountain and glass pane front doors. The first floor features two living areas — each with its own fireplace and exposed wood beams — with one adjacent to a bar area. The kitchen is a convenient and elegant entertaining space with large marble countertops, a waterfall island and dual sinks. Beautifully tiled bathrooms are found throughout the home and have soaking tubs and walk-in showers. On the second floor, light filters through oversized windows into the bedrooms and bathrooms, and on the third floor, there is additional space for a sizable game room. There is an extensive outdoor living area, accessed via sliding glass doors from the living room, that opens to a patio with cedar ceilings and a fireplace.

It is always a welcome opportunity to design a home for clients with whom we have enjoyed collaborating in the past. And, fun, too, to create at both ends of the spectrum of our residential work … from the renovation of their traditional French Provincial house in Greenwich, Connecticut, to gutting their Park Avenue apartment that has emerged as the epitome of elegant contemporary design.
Morpurgo Architects’ renovation of this 2,000 sf coop, with confining areas, has led to a flowing series of spaces that includes an open living/dining area, two bedroom suites, each with an en-suite bathroom, a library/guest room and bathroom, a powder room, and an eat-in kitchen.
Our clients’ new home is distinguished by high ceilings and recessed LED lighting, immediately apparent in the entry, with its striking oval, light cove, which leads to a large gathering space, punctuated by hidden light sources and curved, sculptural cabinetry designed by our firm.

Several years of collaboration between the owners, builder and architect came to fruition in the creation of this exquisite, sophisticated custom home located in the distinguished Two Dogs Subdivision. Designed by world-renowned architect James P. Rothwell, this home is in a class of its own.
The Country Manor design and interior floor plan reflect the Owners’ desire to create interior spaces reminiscent of the 1920’s era that showcased finely detailed rooms and private spaces. Elegant fixtures and intricate woodwork are featured throughout the home. The formal kitchen, dining room and butler pantry are in keeping with the early 20th century design influence. Many of the rooms focus on the stunning mountain and forest views. Spacious porches, patios and an outdoor fireplace create opportunities for special family memories.
The Owners of this spectacular home selected Mantell-Hecathorn Builders for their dedication to quality, their 100% commitment to third party certified high performance standards, and for their personal attention to detail throughout all phases of a project. Despite its size and complexity, this home had exceptional test results and was rated to be 61% more energy efficient than a similar home built to county code.

Capped by a picturesque double chimney and distinguished by its distinctive roof lines and patterned brick, stone and siding, Rookwood draws inspiration from Tudor and Shingle styles, two of the world’s most enduring architectural forms. Popular from about 1890 through 1940, Tudor is characterized by steeply pitched roofs, massive chimneys, tall narrow casement windows and decorative half-timbering. Shingle’s hallmarks include shingled walls, an asymmetrical façade, intersecting cross gables and extensive porches. A masterpiece of wood and stone, there is nothing ordinary about Rookwood, which combines the best of both worlds.
Once inside the foyer, the 3,500-square foot main level opens with a 27-foot central living room with natural fireplace. Nearby is a large kitchen featuring an extended island, hearth room and butler’s pantry with an adjacent formal dining space near the front of the house. Also featured is a sun room and spacious study, both perfect for relaxing, as well as two nearby garages that add up to almost 1,500 square foot of space. A large master suite with bath and walk-in closet which dominates the 2,700-square foot second level which also includes three additional family bedrooms, a convenient laundry and a flexible 580-square-foot bonus space. Downstairs, the lower level boasts approximately 1,000 more square feet of finished space, including a recreation room, guest suite and additional storage.

Kelli envisioned a master bathroom that blended simplicity and elegance, desiring a serene yet functional area. Her project centered on upgrading the shower significantly, all while preserving the existing elements of the space.
This straightforward project was all about enhancing functionality without compromising on style, focusing on a major shower upgrade while retaining the bathroom's existing features.
A complete overhaul of the shower area was at the heart of the remodel, with the existing shower stripped down to the studs to create a custom space that embodies both luxury and practicality.
Unique tiling in Themar Venato Gold distinguished the shower walls. A stylish yet practical corner bench, completed with Schluter Jolly Brushed Nickel edges, enhanced the space.
A long, recessed wall niche was framed to match the window width above. This niche was distinctively tiled to echo the flooring in Festival White herringbone mosaic, adding a touch of cohesive design.
Attention to detail continued with the installation of new Delta shower system. The final touch was a sliding glass door in a barn door style, featuring operable panels, clear glass, and a matching brushed nickel finish.
Kelli's vision came to life with the completion of the master bathroom, merging simplicity, functionality, and elegance into a serene retreat that fits her lifestyle and reflects thoughtful design.

A large circular driveway and serene rock garden welcome visitors to this elegant estate. Classic columns, Shingle and stone distinguish the front exterior, which leads inside through a light-filled entryway. Rear exterior highlights include a natural-style pool, another rock garden and a beautiful, tree-filled lot.
Interior spaces are equally beautiful. The large formal living room boasts coved ceiling, abundant windows overlooking the woods beyond, leaded-glass doors and dramatic Old World crown moldings. Not far away, the casual and comfortable family room entices with coffered ceilings and an unusual wood fireplace. Looking for privacy and a place to curl up with a good book? The dramatic library has intricate paneling, handsome beams and a peaked barrel-vaulted ceiling. Other highlights include a spacious master suite, including a large French-style master bath with his-and-hers vanities. Hallways and spaces throughout feature the level of quality generally found in homes of the past, including arched windows, intricately carved moldings and painted walls reminiscent of Old World manors.

Reflecting the unique visual splendor found only in nature, Ridge captures the organic beauty of the great outdoors and brings it inside. Distinguished by simplified forms and silhouettes, this whole home collection is evocative of the sweeping vistas that have inspired landscape artists for centuries. Ridge has a bold linear attitude balanced with softly angled elements and tapered detailing. While functional at heart, each piece is thoughtfully designed to visually enhance the appeal of its surroundings. Wirebrushed oak adds refined character that is brought to life in organic finish options. Custom hardware designs feel substantial in the hand and feature a hammered look suggestive of flowing water. At its essence, a space furnished with the authentic character of Ridge delivers an experience that feels refreshing yet balanced, energizing yet harmonious.
