Property Description
Originally commissioned by a sea captain in 1908 and completed in 1915, 280 Beechmont Drive was one of the first homes constructed on Beechmont Lake. The home was designed to maximize light and provide panoramic views of historic Beechmont Lake from nearly every room, terrace and patio. As per the original owners design, the architect used the scenic location of the property up on the hill and "in the trees" to create tremendous privacy allowing the use of limited window coverings. The original garage, which has been completely renovated, was one of the original horse stables on the property. The stone family room retains the original removable windows, French doors and hand-crafted & signed wall fountain which is still operational. Updated for today with state-of-the-art electrical, Unico hydro heating and air conditioning systems have been installed.
This stunning Estate evokes elegance combined with every modern amenity for comfortable living. The exquisite design takes advantage of the ever changing seasons overlooking Beechmont Lake. Extraordinary detail and magnificent custom millwork distinguish 4000 square feet of sun-filled, graciously proportioned living space.
The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this stunning five-bedroom home, with its lovely entry hall with leaded & stained glass doors, to the formal living and dining rooms with wood-beamed ceilings. There are two elegant fireplaces and a sun-filled family room with breathtaking water views. The cooks kitchen and butler’s pantry offer every modern amenity. The master bedroom is a private retreat. It too, has its own private terrace, as well as an adjoining dressing room and en-suite bath. Four additional bedrooms and an office are located on the second and third floors. The lower level offers laundry, storage and a finished playroom.
