Description
This 10,500 square foot Tudor-style home sits commandingly on 24
rolling acres, complete with small lake and private natural gas
well. Guests are welcomed to the home with classic formal
elegance in the spacious Foyer, Living Room, Dining Room, and
Library.
The home,
however, was artfully designed to be "family-friendly" and
accommodates the owners and their three children quite
comfortably with plenty of room to relax in the inviting
Kitchen/Breakfast/Hearth Room, Screened Porch, Outdoor Pool, and
in the several bedroom suites. In addition to the 127-inch
theater screen, play room, game room, kitchen, and exercise room
on the Lower Level, there is an indoor "Endless Pool" equipped
with a mechanical current for swimming exercise. The home is a
fully integrated and computerized "Smart House" with everything
from the security and sprinkling systems to the entertainment,
lighting and window blinds centrally programmed and controlled
by mini-computer terminals throughout.
"My husband and I interviewed
several builders. We chose Robert for several reasons. Robert
was interested in all aspects of our project. He assisted us in
finding an architect and attended all of our planning and design
meetings. His input during this phase was invaluable.
The construction of our home took twenty months, which was four
months earlier than our expected completion date. Robert took
great pride in his work, and was fastidious and complete. He
was on site daily and his presence kept the project on track and
helped to avoid problems. Our project was not without some
difficulties. Robert handled all these issues in a professional
manner. He chooses his subcontractors carefully and holds them
to his high standards.
I can easily and without hesitation recommend Robert
Montgomery. With Robert, I was confident that our house would
be built to my high expectations and it was."
