Clean lines and a neutral palette with black accents highlight the original details of this 1920s Long Island Tudor that blends modern elegance with timeless charm. Classic elements meet modern furnishings for a warm, inviting space. In the elegant library, we created this custom bookcase by Juniper Books as a tribute to our client's University of Michigan spirit. Sleek black shelves and bold wallpaper set the stage, but the star is the unique book mural across the center. Each meticulously wrapped legal tome (chosen for size, not content!) hides a custom-printed Michigan football game scene. Numbered inside flaps ensure easy removal and rearranging, making this a truly interactive and stunning tribute to Wolverine pride.

Builder: J. Peterson Homes Interior Designer: Francesca Owens Photographers: Ashley Avila Photography, Bill Hebert, & FulView 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.

This den is one of a kind. You can set it up as a library, a bar, an office, a sitting area, or a man cave. There is plenty of storage space for whatever you chose and a tv big enough to see from all areas in the room. A custom library with back lit shelving gives a soft warm glow. Play a game of chess while sipping your glass of whiskey.

At the beautifully crafted game table, custom fabric chairs beckon invitingly, offering both comfort and style to those engaged in a spirited game or quiet conversation. The chairs are upholstered in luxurious fabrics, meticulously chosen to complement the room's color palette and enhance the overall ambiance of refinement. A reading lamp, elegantly poised on a nearby side table, casts a warm glow over the game table, providing focused illumination for players engrossed in their strategic pursuits. Its adjustable arm allows for precise positioning, ensuring optimal lighting for reading game instructions or studying the intricacies of the chessboard. As you settle into one of the plush chairs at the game table, surrounded by fresh flowers and lush greenery, you feel a sense of serenity wash over you. This library room is more than just a space for literary exploration; it's a sanctuary of comfort and sophistication, where every detail, from the custom furniture to the carefully curated lighting, has been thoughtfully selected to create an atmosphere of timeless elegance and relaxation.

What was once a blank canvas in the living room has now become a warm and energizing focal point. Our clients, lovers of literature, needed a home for their beloved book collection—and we delivered a space that’s as functional as it is beautiful. A full wall of custom built-ins now houses a thoughtful mix of open and closed storage, perfect for books, games, and personal treasures. But this isn’t just a bookcase. It’s an experience. By using the depth of the shelves to frame the passage into the dining room, we created a dramatic, immersive portal that draws you through the home. The shelves wrap you in a golden hug, painted in Sherwin-Williams Quilt Gold—a late-in-the-game color decision that ended up being one of the most joyful in the house. We paired Tedd Wood cabinetry with Amerock hardware to bring a polished, heritage feel to the built-ins while honoring the old-world charm we envisioned. It’s a nod to the classic libraries of another era, but with a vibrant twist that invites you to linger, explore, and get lost in a good book.
