House #4 - Shakes Run
The Candelier
By Joe Kroll Builder, LLC
It’s hard to miss The Candelier’s head-turning curb appeal. The 3,971 square foot craftsman style ranch offers multiple textures with mortar-rubbed brick, stone and cedar combining with oil-rubbed bronze accents. The 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath home is nestled by the creek on a private cul-de-sac and offers homeowners a unique blend of artistic elements and modern conveniences.
Earth tones highlight the exterior of The Candelier, which also showcases shake siding accents, cedar columns and windows that echo the craftsman style design. Keeping in line with the artistic theme, the front entrance features a beautiful covered porch and knotty alder front door, complete with sidelights and a shelf.
The welcoming embrace of Joe Kroll’s uniquely designed home continues within as beautiful hardwood flooring ushers guests throughout the foyer, which features a 10 foot octagon tray ceiling. A formal dining room nearby features an 18 foot vaulted ceiling that celebrates the craftsman design and offers a truly unique dining venue.
Massive stone columns in the foyer offer impressive transitions. The open feel of the home continues into the great room, where a series of windows highlight both the space within and out. Nearby a screened porch summons homeowners to enjoy The Candelier’s incredible natural setting under the vaulted and beadboard ceiling. Retractable screens add a modern, technological touch to the timeless design of the porch. Back inside, the great room’s 12 foot ceiling is accented with coffers and a full stained wall of windows, which is sure to host many evenings sharing stories with good friends. A large chandelier soars magnificently overhead, which adds to the ambiance of the space.
Homeowners will enjoy entertaining in the stunning kitchen that marries well worn finishes of reclaimed wood with modern amenities of stainless and granite. True craftsman artistry is showcased by beautiful inset cabinetry that sits juxtaposed to aged stone. Enriched with a deep coffee stain, the custom cabinetry offers a unique flavor to the culinary space. With easy access to the formal dining area as well as the nearby hearth and great rooms, the kitchen will most certainly be a common meeting ground. A breakfast nook offers an intimate space to share more casual meals, while the vaulted hearth room provides homeowners with a cozy location to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon by the stone fireplace with a good book and cup of tea.
The laundry room provides convenient access to the master bath, offering even the busiest homeowner an easy way to keep up with washing those darks and lights. The master bath leads to a spacious walk-in closet and features an extra large sink with two faucets. Body sprays in the shower contribute to the relaxing energy of the space, as does the beautiful whirlpool tub. The master suite features an an octagonal hip vaulted ceiling with rope lighting and a peaceful environment in which to catch up on that beauty sleep.
Just off the foyer in the main level is a bath and two spacious bedrooms, one with built-ins that can easily serve as a study. Downstairs, another bedroom offers a perfect guest retreat inspired by the Broadway play "Wicked."
New York fans will most definitely enjoy the lower level entertaining space, where one might expect Derek Jeter himself to be watching the game on the 102-inch projector screen or coming down the baseball bat spindled staircase. A large game area and media room make The Candelier “THE” place to be during the World Series and a gorgeous mural of Yankee Stadium really sets the stage for fun.
Homeowners won’t have to worry about heading to the gym with their own exercise room. For additional inspiration to break a sweat, a Yankees-style locker room makes working out seem like a natural part of everyday life. The creative theme extends into the bath. Just off the recreation room is a concrete patio for homeowners who want to take the party outside.
Registered Builder Joe Kroll successfully blends creativity, craftsman style architecture, modern conveniences and energy-efficiency to create a home that is designed to be enjoyed for many years to come. No matter which team you root for, The Candelier is definitely a winner.
