This house was designed and built on speculation for R.S. Granoff's
sister company, Charles Rich Development Corp. The challenge was to
work within the confines of the market - mostly "post-modern" builder's
houses - while creating a unique home that would attract a buyer. The
4-bedroom/5-bath home contains 4,000 s.f., a two-car garage and swimming
pool on a dramatic sloping two-acre lot. The use of large windows, French
doors, covered porches and mahogany decks creates a very open feel in
all of the rooms. Interesting details include cherry wood floors, a
two-story cherry-paneled great room fireplace and an exterior cedar
pergola planted with wisteria. The house was sold upon completion in
early 2001 for $1.5 million. |
