Description

Discover the perfect blend of French Mediterranean charm and sleek European modern interior design! This property is a one-of-a-kind custom architectural home, developed, designed, and constructed in 2000 by its only owner and occupant. The design was inspired by the owner's European heritage. As both the architect and general contractor, meticulous attention was devoted to achieving a French country aesthetic paired with a euro-modern interior.The materials used in the construction start from the ground level and continue all the way to the roof. All exterior walls, measuring 12 inches thick, along with the interior structure, are constructed from concrete. They feature energy-efficient, mechanically fastened foam insulation and are finished with a hand-plastered concrete coating that includes an integrated color coat, resulting in a truly remarkable old-world aesthetic. Its application was painstakingly crafted to evoke a sense of an earlier era. The hand-chiseled stone exterior window sills were reclaimed from the old Castle Rock City Courthouse, enhancing the home's historic charm.The roofing features historic reclaimed Ludowici Italian tile, while the gutters and home flashings are made of fully soldered copper in traditional style. The chimneys are designed not only for ventilation but also to conceal all home vents for a seamless appearance, capped with copper and distinctive "lighthouse" vents. Additionally, a complete exterior repaint was included in the project.The landscaping and its systems were primarily designed to provide year-round privacy and lush greenery. As part of an eight-month project in 2021, the interior received comprehensive updates, touching every surface and system in the home.
