Photos by Bryan Chavez The “Hampton Manor” home boasts many signature features. The cultured stone, gray shingle-style siding, and white trim and accents provide excellent curb appeal. The entry “tower” above the slate-floored, stone-walled portico has windows on all four sides and lighting that provides a glow after dusk. The white aluminum-clad exteriors on the Weather Shield Premium Series direct set, and standard and arch-top casement windows, and hinged patio doors with multiple fixed side panels, add to the home’s appealing exteriors. Bel Arbor Builders works with Custom View Windows in Richmond to specify exclusively Weather Shield Premium Series products for its luxury homes.

An ungainly exterior is transformed by a series of improvements. A Tuscan order portico with copper roof, mahogany beadboard arched ceiling, thick bluestone treads and stone risers creates character and depth. The unusual french door look overhead garage doors cause the two-car garage to recede, allowing the custom mahogany entry doorset with leaded glass to claim center stage. A boxwood-lined circular lead path with fountain break the linearity of the adjacent driveway. The brick facade is softened by a wisteria vine supported by a pergola over the garage while an Asian Pear espaliered between the windows balances it nicely. Copper window boxes with an abundance of blooms spilling over reclaim the Norman heritage of this mid-century colonial.

The gracefully composed façade, featuring round arch windows and wrought-iron balustrades, hints at the Parisian-inspired spaces inside. The clients wanted the dark interior transformed into a bright, elegant and comfortable space, suited to house their collection of art and antiques. Photography by Adrien williams
