Project: 6,500 SF Tudor Style Residence Location: Corning, NY |
Date:2000 Quality: High |
Above: Steeply pitched roofs, turrets, natural stonework and half-timbering are used to beautiful effect in this English Tudor style home. A full basement, opens to daylight in the rear (not visible here). |
Above: Native stone was used for the living room fireplace & chimney. A bridge linking the second floor bedrooms crosses over the entry. |
Fastidious attention to authentic, historically correct detailing was the key to this English Tudor style home. The half- timbering is rot resistant cypress set into the exterior plaster finish - native stone was used elsewhere. Only the main building is shown above - a guest suite above the four-car garage is connected to the house via a covered breezeway barely discernible to the right. Each of the children's bedrooms includes a "secret passage" - a special playful feature and the basement includes a 12' wide TV screen home theater as well as an authentic recycled bar imported from a pub in Dublin, Ireland.
