About This Home
As of July 2016Every room of this sophisticated yet comfortable home is anchored by master craftsman details. Fashioned after a Scottish castle from the 19th century the current owner recognized the one of a kind quality this home held and invested over $1.6 million in updating the home for today's buyer. The home was restored from the ground up as were the gardens and terraces. Find yourself surrounded by original beamed ceilings & hand scraped flooring, 7 working FP each with a unique surround, and leaded glass windows with custom storms. A large butler's pantry, separate breakfast room and bright white kitchen are just off the family room. A roof top terrace is part of the 5 room master suite and each family bedroom is en-suite. A great floor plan allows for family time or formal entertaining. 2nd floor features a screened porch and laundry. "Argyllshire" - home to one fortunate buyer who desires move-in condition, old-world details & private East location. NO SIGN.
