First floor room addition
of approximately 23’ s 22’ with an open second floor and
vaulted ceiling which, at the peak, soars to
twenty-three feet high. A curved stairway connects the
first and second floors, with a balcony/loft area at the
top to overlook the new room. The large stone fireplace
is the focal point with the windows and doors
surrounding the room providing abundant natural light.
The lower level of this
addition became a “pub room” containing a billiard
table, fireplace and wet bar. The curved staircase
flows from the first floor into the new Pub Room. In
the existing section of the basement, an exquisite wine
cellar was created – accented by etched glass, stained
trim, elegant wine racking and tile flooring.
No detail on this project
was left to chance. The stone for the fireplace was
hand selected in North Carolina and installed in a
“dry-lay” method. A hydronic floor heating system is
installed under the tile floors in the new addition –
allowing the rooms to heat from the bottom up. The
ceiling is finished in a beautiful stained bead-board
allowing this extremely tall ceiling to have a warm and
inviting feeling. The railing on the staircase is a
combination of wood and wrought iron, natural stone is
used on the flooring and on the fireplace, the walls
have a soft faux texture – all contributing to the warm
and elegant feeling in this room. |
