Property Description

If you're satisfied with ordinary construction practices, this home is likely not for you. This magnificent French Chateau offers over 5,100 square feet of living space and a level of quality, craftsmanship, and structural integrity that simply isn't found in today's homes. Built in 1986, this all-brick estate cost approximately $800,000 to build, not including the land, and was constructed to commercial-grade standards, designed to last for generations, not decades. Some of what makes this home truly exceptional is what you can't see. Eight-inch-thick concrete floors supported by substantial structural steel I-beams provide extraordinary strength, eliminate floor vibration, and prevent noise transfer between floors. The all-brick exterior features custom projecting brick quoins at the corners, adding architectural depth and distinctive European character. Inside, you'll find beautiful Italian marble, an elegant Louis XVI fireplace that alone cost $27,000 in 1986, impressive Strauss chandeliers, high ceilings, and architectural details that reflect the home's European influence. The basement offers tremendous potential for additional living space beyond the 5,100 square feet above grade. Already equipped with a second kitchen, plumbing for a full bathroom, and two fireplaces, this area provides an opportunity to create additional entertainment or living space. While the kitchen and bathrooms may benefit from updating to suit today's tastes, the underlying quality of this property is what truly sets it apart. Kitchens and bathrooms can be remodeled. Recreating this level of construction, materials, and architectural detail is another matter entirely. If you appreciate the difference between a home that simply looks impressive and one that was built with exceptional care, this property deserves your attention.
