This is a landmark residence reminiscent of the world’s finest mountain architecture. Crowning a verdant Hilldale setting, proud as a castle, stands an extraordinary home. Blending art and architecture, this collaborative effort between Kyle Hunt, Big Woods Timber Frame, artisans, craftsmen and architectural elements from noteworthy Midwest historic buildings, has resulted in a residence replete with all the classic finery, streaming with natural light, and rich in detail. First a captivating approach, then one is greeted by a massive 2 story reception hall anchored by a staircase sharing the carpentry and old world joinery of trusses and beams high above. The main public areas here feature lofty ceilings (barreled groin vault in dining), massive windowscapes of leaded and stained glass and set to glow by one of the special fireplaces in the home. There are comfortable formal and casual spaces, an extraordinary party room with its finish elements and mood able to transport you to a different place and time. There is an office that whether for comfort or work is the sine qua non for bringing out the best. Adjacent is an equally amazing primary suite. Here also is a large veranda with additional extraordinary truss craftsmanship . Front and rear terraces, fire pit and a unified design that makes every elevation ( inside and outside) a visual treat. Additional main level bedroom and bath ideal for guests or multigenerational use. Timeless warmth and character. Live where few would experience while vacationing.
