Entry

Beverly Hills based clients commissioned a vacation home for their family in Malibu, CA. Together with world renowned interior designer John Cottrell, we conceived a 10,000 sq. ft. Pennsylvania Stone Farm House. The stone was quarried from the Midwest and is complemented by a steep French slate roof. The site is situated on a 2 1/2 acre bluff with a panoramic view stretching from Paradise Cove to Catalina Island. This resplendent retreat immediately relaxes the mind and body as one is lead from the circular drive court through an arched portico with paneled wood gates into a quiet lawned courtyard. The garden and reflective lap pool and spa are sheltered from harsh elements by the two wings of the house. A glass French lite Dutch entrance door is discretely located at the end of an outdoor colonnade.

The parking area is screened from the street view and the grass provides foreground and a clean look at the homes entry.

Modern farmhouse style graces the facade, from the board-and-batten siding to the black frame windows, while an arched portico presents a grand entry with an eye-catching red front door. The great room, kitchen, and dining rooms create an easy flow and a rear screened porch with skylights takes living outdoors. The master suite is a private wing with a tray ceiling, outdoor access, dual walk-in closets and a spacious bathroom. A bedroom/study provides versatility and two additional bedrooms are available. The mud room entry offers convenient storage, along with a pantry, and the utility room is adjoining with a laundry sink and built-in cabinets. A bonus room above the garage meets the homeowners needs for storage or additional square footage.

Siding & Windows Group created and built Front Entrance Decorative Roof Canopy, Douglas Fir Beaded Wood Ceiling, Cedar Exterior Finish and Gable Roof to match. To finish the beautiful Winnetka, IL Exterior Remodel, we installed Marvin Ultimate Windows and Fypon Shutters in Custom Color by Sherwin Williams.

Stone and stucco combine to create an elegant European manor that calls upon the facades of long ago. A large arched portico welcomes guests in a grand fashion, and the foyer’s stunning staircase is a striking focal point in the entry. The dining room, great room and foyer are distinguished only by columns, granting an open feel to the first floor. The great room accesses a spacious rear porch and deck. The kitchen also exemplifies spaciousness and openness by using a large center island as the divider between the hearth and breakfast rooms. A screen porch with fireplace is accessed through the hearth room, while the breakfast room also accesses the porch. The master suite is truly remarkable with a large bedroom, his-and-her walk-in closets and a separate shower and tub combination. Upstairs, three large bedrooms have ceiling treatments and share two baths. A generous bonus room completes the second level.
