Homearama 2017: Day Five!

So we’re wrapping up the tour with the last home today, and it’s definitely different from the rest of the homes I’ve shared so far.  It looks like a French Chateau, a home that is very European in it’s style and flair.  I think we can all appreciate how gorgeous this home is, both inside and out.

You can see what I mean about the impressive exterior.  It definitely has the wow factor.

Great symmetry and stunning architectural details.  The black mullioned windows caught my eye as well.

And how about these gas lamp outdoor fixtures?

Once inside, the grand nature of this home continues  Look at the ceiling detail and trim work.

To the right is a hallway leading to the master “wing” of the home.

This stunning study had me at hello.  Super elegant, and the trim work is off the hook.  I love the rich dark color with the light furnishings, and it leads to the outdoor covered patio.

This powder room is at the end of the long hallway that is off the entry.  Definitely different than the others we’ve seen.  So glam.

Then there’s the master suite.  Really, this whole side of the house could be considered the master suite – it’s set up in such a way that you can have it function that way.

The master bathroom is large and room as well.

Huge master closet.

This photo gives you a view from the master into the study.

The covered patio is a beautiful sanctuary (but missing a railing, so we weren’t able to go outside and look at it).

Then we made our way into the kitchen.  Wow.  Just, WOW.

And that ceiling…

Pretty dining space.

And would you just look at that curved bank of windows?  With the black mullions?  So classic.

The only thing I’m not sure about is this “table” off of the island.  It serves a function, but I’m just not sure about it.  But without it, you would have had a lot of open and unused space.

Maybe a larger island with barstools instead?  I don’t know.

Gorgeous glass insets.

And I love the mix of hardware here too.

The great room is off the kitchen area – more soaring ceilings and beautifully done trim work.

And a great butler’s pantry as well.

We were actually supposed to go through the basement before the kitchen, but we don’t follow directions very well, so you’re going to see it the way we did.  On to the basement.

Not too shabby, yes?

Bear with my photography – this basement was dark and tricky to photograph.

A fantastic bar – felt like it belonged in an actual pub.

I like the black cabinetry and how it contrasts with the counter and backsplash.  

Stylish powder room – 

Workout area – but this was the only part of the basement that lead to the outside.

Two bedrooms down here as well – and I like that they had full windows.

This room shares a bathroom with the second bedroom.

Back upstairs, we checked out the other “wing” of the house.

Laundry room – 

And another bedroom with a full bath.

That wraps up this tour.  What do you think?  While it’s stunning to look at in every way, I can’t imagine living in it, if that makes sense.  Too fancy to imagine kids running around here (for me, anyway).  But it is absolutely gorgeous, and there are so many elements to take notice of and admire.
