James W. Henning Estate: 13 Lakeview Road Tuxedo Park, NY 10987 美國

This private lakeview estate, built for James W. Henning in 1895 is an architectural masterpiece, exquisitely restored with a sophisticated aesthetic that is equally suited to gracious, formal entertaining and casual family life. The Tudor Revival house is sited on 4+ acres of gently sloping hillside, overlooking Tuxedo Lake, a generous apron of lush lawn, bluestone terrace, and beautiful 100 year old stone walls, all surrounded by natural forest, rock outcroppings along the private drive. The property also boasts a four gabled carriage house, with a heated four-car garage and office suite above. A steeply gabled covered entrance and grand glass Palladian door welcomes you into the entry foyer with black and white marble floor. The gracious parlour signals the allure of the house, with high ceilings, arched doorways, decorative architectural details, abundant light and elegant appointments. French doors at the far end open out to the covered porch on the lake side of the house. There are eight fireplaces in the house, with beautiful decorative surrounds in wood, marble and granite. The formal, double-wide living room and generous dining room feature distinctive original wood flooring, custom millwork, leaded glass windows, decorated in cheerful color palettes with luxurious window treatments, included. The centerpiece of the English style mahogany paneled library is the beautifully carved stone fireplace, complemented by leaded and stained glass windows and French doors, elegantly molded ceiling and intricate hand carved moldings, and wide plank flooring.
