MAPLE RIDGE ESTATE |
|||
|
Maple Ridge is a gracious Virginia estate of 21.2 acres. The property offers an 8000 square foot manor home of brick, resurfaced with marble chip stucco. It was originally a turn-of-the-century farmhouse transformed by Thomas Fortune Ryan in 1922. Highlighting the exterior is a 150-foot, two-story columned portico reaching around the house on three sides and a 16th century Italian well adorning the front garden.
Nestled in the mountains at an elevation of 2500 feet, Maple Ridge sits adjacent to The Homestead Resort, 90 miles from Charlottesville and 160 miles from Washington, DC. The home is surrounded by eight acres of lawn and gardens. Amenities inlcude a pool house, garden house, 3-car garage and surrounding woodlands. The remaining portion of the original estate has covenants designed to preserve the farm setting and designate the building sites of only three additional homes on the the adjoining 80 acres.
Maple Ridge is extremely private, yet convenient to numerous recreational activities including swimming, tennis, skiing, golf on three championship golf courses, The Homestead Resort, Lake Moomaw, and Ingalls Airfield. Miles of hiking and riding trails, flyfishing streams and an abundance of wildlife surround the estate.
The layout and design of the house are ideally suited to gracious family living while the superb architecture allows ample room for traditional Virginia hospitality. (Click here for the floor plans) Completely renovated in 2005, the home's interior offers traditional estate living with today's modern conveniences and technology. Just inside the front door, the home's Entry Foyer is highlighted by the elliptical staircase leading to the second floor living space.
To the left of the Foyer, glass pocket doors open into the elegantly paneled oval Dining Room with its hidden wine cellar.
To the right of the Foyer is the light-filled Drawing Room which opens on to the Portico through three pairs of French Doors. From the Drawing Room, one has access to the Card Room or may pass through the Study with fireplace into the large Library with fireplace, pool table and bar.
A custom gourmet kitchen, laundry, butler's pantry, breakfast room and sun room overlooking the pool complete the first floor.
The second floor provides ample living space with two large Master Suites, elegantly decorated with paneled walls and offering generous closet space and full baths.
Two more bedrooms each with their own full baths also provide comfortable living space for additional family and guests. The Second Floor also features two large glass fronted linen closets.
A back staircase, with origins off of the first floor kitchen, provides access to the third floor where two more bedrooms, two full baths and a sitting room provide a quiet haven from the bustle of the floors below.
