2 5 7 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I From cedar-lined closets to all flooring being composed of marble, granite or quarter inch sawn oak, no expense was spared. The exterior of the 7,900 sq. ft. chateau is composed of hand-made bricks and machine turned Indiana limestone. There is no tile anywhere, only solid granite or marble. Four fireplaces complement the home of four levels. The ceiling height of the main level is more than 11 feet, consisting of the master bedroom suite, a library, parlour, entry foyer, family room, dining room, caterer’s dream kitchen, large pantry, and two half baths. The upstairs has three bedrooms and four baths, a musician’s balcony and a bonus room. One exceptional feature is the two-speed light elevator that reaches all floors. A beautiful spiral staircase with cherry hand railings and painted metal spindles with gold leaf is a stunning feature. The third floor is a heated and cooled unfinished attic area with access to the new slate roof and spectacular views of the property, pool house and garden. The finished basement level has approximately 4,582 sq. ft. of kitchen, exercise room, additional sitting room/dining room, downstairs office with authentic Napoleonic era antiques, and a stunning wine cellar and adjoining tasting room, holding over 2,000 bottles. Imagine such labour a of love for not only the land, but for a structure of such a calibre as this. Perhaps visualising Napoleon Bonaparte sitting at the window, overlooking such a place and feeling right at home in a chateau designed for a person of stature, is what the mind’s eye should retain.
