Parisian Estate
Scroll to viewThis new estate home is sited on a commanding 19 acre property overlooking a golf course, thick forest, and cascading landscape featuring its own brook and small waterfalls. Our clients came to us looking to create a highly detailed French Provincial design, complete with interiors befitting a historic Parisian residence. The exterior is comprised of a cut stone rusticated base, with plastered and wood walls and a slate roof. The interior features elaborate plaster millwork, custom brass handrails, mantels imported from Europe, and custom Versailles wood floors (among many other custom touches).
