Property Description

Introducing "Owl Hollow," an extraordinary French-country, brick home designed by the esteemed architect, Stanley Anderson, and meticulously restored and updated by James LaDuke and Associates to the highest of standards. Nestled within nearly an acre of meticulous newly landscaped grounds, this residence is a private paradise that harmoniously blends historic charm with modern amenities. Surrounded by over 400-feet of restored brick and limestone walls that exude elegance, exclusivity, and envelop the home with a sense of complete privacy. Through tall gates, one approaches the home via a circular granite paver driveway, recently expanded for additional off-street parking. Upon entering, you will be captivated by the seamless fusion of original architectural details and updates for modern living. The addition of a garden room, designed by Austin Dupree of Northworks, seamlessly connects the oversized, heated 2 car garage to the main house, featuring extensive coat closets, heated floors, a decorative garden sink for added convenience, and custom doors that open up directly to the tiered, bluestone patios. The updated eat-in kitchen is a culinary masterpiece, boasting Burmeister custom cabinetry, dual Wolf ovens and cooktops, a large eat-at island, and a built-in banquet breakfast area. This inviting space opens directly into the private bluestone courtyard, complete with an original water feature, offering a perfect setting for al fresco dining and tranquil relaxation. Flanking the kitchen is the spacious family room complete with integrated surround sound, and the dining room, which overlooks the gardens, complete with a gas fireplace for the perfect dinner party ambiance. Throughout the home, original millwork moldings and timeless finishes are meticulously preserved, creating period ambiance of refined elegance. The 2 plus-story great room exemplifies this, showcasing its original timber beams and herringbone wood floors. The original spiral staircase, one of 2 stairs to the second floor, leads to the spacious primary bedroom with a fireplace and seating area, an ensuite bathroom featuring a walk-in steam shower, soaking tub, and, a dressing room with beautiful built-in cabinetry. Three additional bedrooms and two fully updated marble bathrooms complete the upper level, each with timeless finishes. The finished basement provides a versatile space for a second family room or exercise room, offering endless possibilities for relaxation and entertainment, with plenty of storage in the utility room. Outside, two bluestone patio areas provide the perfect setting for outdoor gatherings, overlooking the expansive rear yard, which backs up to a ravine, offering a serene backdrop for this remarkable property. The side yard offers a separate tranquil space which could be perfect for the addition of a pool. The new cedar roof with new copper gutters and downspouts completes the exterior perfection of this home. Experience the timeless allure and modern luxury of this incredible home, where every detail has been thoughtfully curated to create a residence of unparalleled sophistication and charm. This home is a true masterpiece, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history reimagined for contemporary living.
