and symmetrically fill the space on either side of a classic fireplace at the center of the wall visible upon entering the foyer or gathering room. Each of the six fireplaces in the estate’s homes are capable of burning wood, but are also equipped with remote control–operated gas starters and logs. Light neutral walls and ceiling give the foyer or gathering room an open, elegant feel, and welcome the addition of the homeowner’s favorite works of art.

An elegant music room on the home’s first floor is light-filled, spacious, and welcoming. The classical design of this inviting room mirrors that of the foyer or gathering room, with light neutral walls and ceiling, oak wood floors, and white pine wood moulding around doors and the French doors on three sides of the room. White pine planted during the property’s early ownership by the Reuss family was utilized in much of the home’s lovely woodwork. One set of French doors in the music room conveniently opens onto the home’s front patio, allowing for easy movement between the two spaces. The additional sets of French doors in this room open onto the foyer and main hall. A beautiful chandelier light in the room and smaller wall sconces on either side of the windows supplement the pleasing natural light in this room.

An expansive dining room adjoins the openconcept kitchen, allowing seamless movement between the two spaces. The color scheme of the dining room and kitchen are coordinated with that of the home’s main floor, with pale creamy white walls and ceiling. A pleasing tile floor in these two rooms offers durability in an attractive aesthetic. Two suspended circular chandelier-style light fixtures in the dining room as well as inset ceiling lights complement the overall aesthetic of the home.

The light-filled kitchen captures the feel of this spectacular European-style vineyard estate. Dark wood beams in a vaulted ceiling match the wood of a generous central kitchen island with a black soapstone top. Contemporary, elegant suspended lights, inset circular ceiling lights, and four skylights all enhance the bountiful natural light in this culinary haven. The skylights, operable via remote control, feature an electric rain sensor that closes them automatically in case of rain. Ample granite countertops, a granite sink, and high-end appliances contribute to the ease of food preparation in this grand kitchen.

Additional elegant cupboard storage, counter space, and sinks are housed in the home’s butler’s pantry. The butler’s pantry is conveniently connected to the family room, allowing for easy access when entertaining guests. The pantry features a dumbwaiter down to the garage, allowing groceries to be unloaded there and lifted with ease into the main home.

Homeowners will enjoy spending time visiting with family and friends in the home’s welcoming family room. The design of this spacious room mirrors that of the home’s kitchen, with dark wood ceiling beams and matching accent wood around the generous windows. As elsewhere in the home’s main floor, light creamy neutral walls and ceiling enhance the expansive feeling of this space and harmonize with the owners’ selection of furniture, rugs and fine art. A centrally located fireplace on one wall serves as a visual anchor in this classic room.

The home’s grand living room offers an additional space in which to gather, entertain, relax or converse. Here, dark wood ceiling beams and woodwork along the base of the wall gives the space the sense of a European country estate. Oak floors and light-colored neutral walls add to the warmth and solidity of the room, and an additional fireplace offers a welcoming hearth on winter evenings.

Homeowners will appreciate the opportunity to savor pleasant summer days relaxing in the home’s three-season porch. A beautifully crafted wood ceiling and walls lined with windows create an expansive, flowing feeling in this sun-filled space. A ceiling fan circulates comfortable breezes while also providing additional lighting for evening gatherings. The porch corridor stretches along one edge of the home, offering restful views of the beautiful gardens beyond. An artful mural along one wall beautifully showcases the history of Northcote Estate, including portraits of many of the pets that frolicked there.

A unique, artfully designed children’s bathroom on the main floor in this elegant home features whimsical, nature-based paintings on the walls and vanity. Everything in this fully-functional bathroom is sized to fit a child, and is a must-see for children living at or visiting the estate.

A master bedroom and four additional bedrooms are comfortably situated on the home’s upper floor. The master suite features warm-toned oak floors and a lovely crystal chandelier light.
