Sometimes two words can say it all. Especially when those words are Wayne Gillespie. This superb free-standing solid brick residence, recently the subject of extensive renovation, illustrates exactly why a Gillespie design stands the test of time and provides perfect responses to all today's demands and desires. Signature external lines frame spaces that are similarly reflective of the architect's famed ability to meld indoor proportions and outdoor dimensions - including living and dining areas that flow seamlessly to a north-facing backdrop featuring a fabulous solar heated pool. A secluded pergola provides second outdoor retreat, overlooked by the dining domain and a separate kitchen fitted with fresh appliances, finished with honed marble surfaces. A generous study completes a downstairs level that's complemented above by three double bedrooms and two entirely re-modeled bathrooms including a stunning main bedroom accompanied by a northern balcony, walk-in robes and ensuite. All new LED lighting, hydronic heating, air-conditioning, oak floorboards and pool fixtures - among many other elements - further enhance an elite address with a double garage, that perfectly captures the ethos of Wayne Gillespie and explains why his work endures so successfully.
