Tudor Estate


Originally built in 1922, this historic 2.5 acre Tudor estate in the Piedmont hills has been renovated to meet the needs of a modern family. New outdoor brick terraces and stone stairs with pierced screen balustrades lead to the surrounding gardens.
Upon arrival through the cobblestone gateway drive, one is offered a charming view of the estate.
This handsome stone and brick bay gives character not only to the outside of the estate, but also to the inside, allowing large windows to open up the rooms within.
The magnificent carved stone entry portal draws the visitor inside, and blends harmoniously with the surrounding brick and timber-framed bay windows above.
Part of the main house renovations included this striking, wood-paneled, octagonal billiard parlor that allows light from the gables to stream in a way that only adds to the quiet, concentrated atmosphere of a good billiard game.
This completely new, wooden staircase elegantly draws the visitor upward, from its climbing balustrades to the streaming light from an unseen skylight above.
The restored solarium features graceful vaults and a beautiful mosaic fountain, offering peace and tranquility to anyone who decides to stop here for a moment of repose.
Slate roofs, verdigris copper gutters, downspouts and leader heads
The new tower gazebo was constructed on the footings of a demolished orchid conservatory.
Perched like a tree house, the gazebo has beautiful, sylvan views of a brook, bridge, pool, and sport court.
The tower gazebo has an outdoor loggia equipped with a gas radiant heating system integrated into a lantern chandelier.
The cast stone railings are based on English country homes' designs of the period which often incorporated exotic Chinese garden screens.
