The front exterior of the home is a combination of brick and stone, with an abundance of windows flanked by old world style shutters.  The dynamic entry boasts natural architectural elements, including an open cedar timber front porch with a copper roof. Two sets of eight-foot distressed walnut arched doors lend a majestic feel to the front entrance.
Once inside, the two-story foyer makes a formal introduction to this incredible living space, with views of the open railed staircase, kitchen and grand hall.  The uniqueness of Fawsley Hall is immediately discovered in the library, which features a hip vaulted ceiling and sliding glass doors that reveal the natural beauty of a water view from the private courtyard.  The dining room is accented with elegant columns and features ceramic tile flooring. An attractive butler’s pantry gives homeowners convenient storage for entertaining essentials.

The two-story ”English Grand Hall” features a combination great room and kitchen that will most certainly be the gathering place of choice for morning breakfasts or conversations with the chef. A beamed ceiling and an oversized faux stone fireplace are sure to draw the attention of guests.  The food prep area includes a large kitchen island that serves as the central point for culinary creations. Granite countertops, a stainless steel farm sink and Thermador professional series appliances make this a true chef’s kitchen. Coffee-stained, distressed alder cabinets and dark hand-shaved antique flooring contribute to the beautiful design  and re-emphasize Fawsley Hall’s attention to details. A decorative mantle hood surprises guests with a built-in TV.  The large walk-in pantry offers plenty of room for storing food for the winter.

An incredible raised fireplace is paneled floor-to-ceiling in beautiful knotty pine in the angled, hip-vaulted hearth room and is flanked by built-in bookcases, creating a dynamic focal point of the gathering area.  Plentiful windows welcome natural light within both the breakfast and hearth rooms.  Just outside, is a fantastic covered, screened porch that overlooks the water below.  A mud room features built-in benches and cubbies, lending organization and style to frequent comings and goings. The three-car garage measures more than 39 feet in length to allow for extra storage or workshop space.

A stone veneer pathway leads to the master suite, where 12-foot ceilings highlight French moulding.  Sliding glass doors open to a deck that offers beautiful views of the water. French doors announce the master bath, which includes a towel warmer, dressing bench, built-in linen wardrobe and beautiful ceramic tile flooring.  The incredible shower features three shower heads, including one that is hand-held.
