PROPERTY

Nestled among mature oak trees, this sprawling 8,000-square-foot Tudor-style modern home has been fully reimagined and restored by interior designer Marie Flanigan. With a reclaimed brick façade, rich interior architectural detailing, and design selections lush with antique furnishings, lighting, and textiles, it's a celebration of country style and tradition – but it packs in plenty of modern touches too...

LIVING ROOM

The living room serves as the home’s crown jewel with handcrafted custom and antique fixtures, a salvaged wood ceiling, and historic French stone wall from Chateau Domingue.

A Persian rug, 19th-century framed mirror, and Kevin Gillentine painting contribute to the found nature of this open concept living space.

KITCHEN

Steps away, copper and iron accents lend warmth in the kitchen and breakfast room.

A hand carved limestone hood surround, hammered copper sink, and muted colour palette feel light and refreshing against the surrounding outdoor view.

TERRACE

The kitchen opens out onto this terrace with a covered outdoor dining area. A ceiling fan makes sure this space feels cool even on the hottest summer day.

HALLWAY

The hallway to the master bedroom is lined with art and wood furniture. Furniture is aged and full of character, yet is still a world away from the dated lacquered wood antiques you'll find in old fashioned homes.

MASTER BEDROOM

Walnut detailing continues in the master suite. Luxurious fabrics lend warmth and texture while Gregorius Pineo table lamps illuminate the 19th-century mirror that crowns a custom upholstered bed.

A seating area with curated French double caned daybed and a stone coffee table stands directly across from the master bathroom.

DRESSING ROOM

The bedroom features hand-carved doors that lead to separate his-and-her wardrobes.
