Private, pristine and serene describes this renovated and expanded historic home, which owes its roots to a match up of Art Moderne + Prairie School styles of architecture.
Shaded beneath ancient trees, the gated drive welcomes you.
Glen Haven is described as a narrow valley where one finds a place of refuge. That definition succinctly describes the setting of this very special home.
For your convenience on rainy days, the home has a Texas sized porte cochere on the front third of the driveway.
Besides extra parking and a comfortable entrance to the home, this space could also be used to entertain, or to play.
Inside the home styles and eras meet to create warm environs. Period details such as the curved staircase and the parquet floors help the home retain its vintage charm.
Just off the Entry: The Dining Room features a curved wall, crown moulding and hardwood floors.
Gracious and spacious with streams of light.
The Kitchen was updated with recent cabinets, counters and appliances. On the floor, wood parquet. On the outer wall: Cabinets in a Prairie School, block panel design adds beauty and functionality to the Kitchen.
Fantastic space--both for storage and prep--all neatly wrapped in beautiful materials.
The Kitchen looking towards the Dining Room and the Breakfast Room.
Talk about a room with a view! The Breakfast Room features a 90 degree view of the Back Yard and Gardens. The Banquette to the right is a comfortable place to sit as well as a great place to store.
The Back Yard is luxurious, and private. The flagstone pool deck is soft on your feet. The waterfall from the Spa is soft on your ears and your imagination.
In addition to the Pool and Spa, the Back Yard is dotted with lush plants, terraces and shady spots.
Imagine entertaining al fresco, listening to your favorite tunes while splashing in the Pool and Spa. For the landlubbers there is ample shade as well.
Around the eastern corner of the home is a cozy patio that provides late afternoon shade.
There is a rustic looking fireplace to keep you warm on those cool winter nights.
The sounds of silence found within the falling water.
A tanning deck is a hot spot to catch some rays.
Back in the shade is a Summer Kitchen with huge gas grill. I'll take mine medium well, please!
The treats just keep coming. Nestled between the Pool deck and the two car Garage is a Casita.
The Casita could serve as a Cabana as well; sliding windows facilitate the handing out of drinks and food.
The Casita also includes this stylish Bath with stall shower and stacked stone accents.
Back inside the house...
...we walk through the Breakfast Room to get to the Living Room featuring period parquet paneling on the walls, wood parquet floors and a Frank Lloyd Wright-esque corner window.
The Living Room has Garden views as well.
The Living Room is the axis connecting the Kitchen/Breakfast Room...
...with the Sun Room. The Sun Room has sliding glass doors that lead to a Patio and the Pool beyond. On the walls and the floor more of the gorgeous wood parquet.
The Sun Room has another door that leads to...
...another tranquil Patio.
Intimate, large and comfortable are descriptors that sum up the Den, which has a clubby feel. A Wet Bar on one end...
...flanking the Den is a various array of built-ins, with gorgeous hardwoods under your feet.
Completing the First Floor is this very 1956 chinoiserie-style Powder Bath with a marble vanity, marble floors and a Chinese Red faux treatment on the walls. The porcelain sink is decorated with Asian scenes. Sorry, the French mirror is excluded.
Shall we see what sorts of wonders await us on the Second Floor?
What wonders indeed! The very unconventional Master Bedroom is done up in mid Century-style. Vintage hardwoods line the floors, while a bookcase acts as a room divider adding functionality and panache to the Master.
The Master Bedroom is quite large and has a view of the verdant Front Yard.
The Master Bedroom has a gigantic closet, as well as access to a private Terrace.
Continuing the Arts and Crafts theme of the home is this stunning Master Bath featuring dual vanities, a jetted tub and an oversized spa-worthy Shower with a glass privacy screen.
The Shower features a handheld shower system, a bench and ample storage via an oversized Product Shelf.
Across from the Master, along the 'L' shaped Hall are two Guest Suites that feature hardwood floors, crown moulding and updated double paned, low-e windows, that are throughout the home.
Connecting two of the Suites is a 'Jack and Jill' Bath with a Shower/Tub combination and beautiful accents.
Guest Suite Two shares the Jack and Jill Bath with Guest Suite One.
Around the corner in the West Wing is the Second Floor Den. This is a perfect gathering space for your visiting dignitaries, or a Playroom for the dignitaries that live with you.
Hidden from view is a 10 x 23 'Texas Basement' for storage and easy retrieval of your holiday decorations, luggage or any other belongings.
Off the Upstairs Den is another Terrace with a view of the Pool.
As enticing as it looks: Please don't jump! There is a more civilized way to get into the pool.
In the West Wing are two beautiful Bedrooms with hardwood floors, crown moulding and nicely sized Closets.
The West Wing also features a recent Bath with more beautiful finishes.
Another beautiful Guest Room.
When all the fun and games are over--there is always the drudgery of laundry. This cheerful Utility Room will lighten your spirits as you clean your clothes.
