Property Description

A pinnacle of architectural refinement, the Peyronnin House is a master class on architecture with unparalleled artisanship at every turn. A stunning contemporary interpretation of neo-classical form by architects Michael Shoulders & Scott Veazey of VPS Architecture, the design is free of fluted columns and ornamental capitals common in neo-classical homes. The heft of limestone window wells - cut in modern fashion - anchor the faade. The homes newly installed cedar shake roof provides crisp lines for a skyward elegance. Granite pavers grace a guest auto court & walkway, connecting formal entry & dining room through custom, hand-hammered iron gates from a blacksmith in Memphis. Mahogany entry doors lockset in Williamsburg solid brass & skeleton key. Even doorstops are details not missed. The bricks are a custom blend of color & shape created only for this estate. Inside, dinner parties are the homes DNA. Handmade Mexican tiles provide warmth & contrast to light flowing through a generous pattern of windows and doors. The great room fireplace is the product of months of research into the history & function of fireplaces, with massive black slate & architectural salvage from St. Louis. French doors throughout the home evoke the Great Gatsby, with sunlight dampened by the wooded canopy in view. The patio lulls with grindstone fountain controlled via Bluetooth. Fehrenbacher cabinets adorn the den with dual desks & built-in storage, and are displayed throughout the home in balcony bookcases, bathroom vanities, closet spaces, and a sleek Fehrenbacher departure in a European styled commercial kitchen with butcher block island. The homes two main level main suites and bedrooms above cater to numerous arrangements. A basement rec room is well-suited for rest or personal fitness refinement. A third ensuite layout off the garage is perfect for guests or home office, open to lavish parties via French doors off the courtyard, flanked by crepe myrtle. Outside, the homes purpose comes to fruition, connecting friends & family to stories & place. Sprawling patio, courtyard & breezeway transition the structure to botanical grounds, with green space, arboretum plantings, and your own breathtaking four acres of forest with a branch and ledge to rest your weary soul. Images of this home reflect the lifestyle it offers. Its time for nothing else than to appreciate the loving moments and lasting memories fostered by elegant design.
