Property Description
The house was built in 1920 in the Colonial Revival style, as portrayed in the symmetrical composition of the main facade, the twin chimneys, and the measured proportions of the home. Renowned architect of the early 1900's, Bradley Delehanty, was engaged by financier Francis Gordon Brown III to design this elegant home.
The original portion of the home is a modified Center Hall Colonial, with a central winding staircase that anchors the entry foyer. The living room maintains its original dentil crown molding. The original raised-panel pine wall paneling, woodwork around the fireplace, and dentil crown moldings in the dining room have likewise been meticulously maintained over the course of a century. The sun-drenched west-facing family room has a carved natural verde stone mantel, arched doorways and custom integrated millwork with intricate radiused casings. An adjacent sunroom features beadboard ceilings, natural stone knee walls, and natural cleft-finish stone slab pavers transitioning into stepping stones in the courtyard.
An extensive addition built in the early 2000's ushered the home into modern day: creating a spacious kitchen for cooking and entertaining guests, kitchen dining room, den, study, great room, as well as a massage room with a panoptic view of the grounds. The extension cleverly encircles a lush courtyard, providing ample natural light and views into the garden from nearly every vantage point inside the home. The southern wing of the extension is situated between the courtyard and the swimming pool, allowing a natural flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.
The French provincial kitchen features top-line appliances, overlay cabinet doors and natural white Carrara countertops with matching slab backsplash. The ceiling is articulated with beadboard and trim. An adjacent kitchen dining room features Roman Tuscan-style columns, glazed French doors, French provincial wall coverings, and is crowned with a daylight-filled octagonal cathedral ceiling and copper-topped cupola. A double-sided fireplace offers a visual connection between the kitchen dining room and the den. No detail is spared even in the study, which features coffered ceilings with v-groove paneling for a transitional look.
At Willow Bank, one can imagine oneself enjoying the sweeping grounds of the Estate: whether walking through the private garden, taking reflection at the pond, stepping through the rose trellis, or lounging in the azure bluestone-stepped pool. Willow Bank is truly a gem with few equals.
