The 1994 home was modeled after 18th century English and Scottish architecture and pays tribute to English architects James and Robert Adams.
Sited on an acre of land overlooking acres of wooded parkland, landscape architect James Urban artfully designed a flowing landscape into terraces, English gardens, lawns, motor court entrance, walkways, pool and pool house into a lovely introduction to the mansion. The exterior and interior of the home have been designed with understated elegance throughout making it an excellent backdrop for everyday comfort, entertaining intimately or on a grand scale.
Built in 1994, the home consists of formal rooms, seven bedrooms, fourteen baths, private staff quarters, temperature-controlled wine cellar and tasting room, and elevator. Fireplaces are gas and large windows allow for light-filled rooms. For more information.
