Getting it Right! SOLD/CLOSED
Monday, October 6, 2014One of our favorite colleagues, Peter Stuart, has listed 10 Searles Road. It is truly sublime. A Fraser Peter house built in 1924 and renovated in 2010, it is a true example of beautiful, bespoke and cool. It pushes this house to the front of the line for Houses We Love! It is the kind of house that makes the heart go pitter patter when noticing the simplest details such the door hinges and the window hardware. It’s always in the details, isn’t it? It’s the kind of house that gives hope in the search of a special and unique home. Six bedrooms, four and a half baths, set on a little more than a flat acre in the middle of Tokeneke Association. Asking $3,150,000 offered through Kelly Associates.
Architect Frazier Peters desigend this house in 1924. Renovations were done in 2010 and 2011.
Idyllic and charming. Welcoming and comfortable. You will immediately notice the attention to perfection as you approach the front door. For starters, the Bevolo lighting.
Gorgeous walls. A large elegant living room is the prefect room for this rich coral color.
Fabulous entertaining to be done here.
I am really hoping the person who buys this house leaves this stunning wall paper. Very sophisticated. Very beautiful.
Of course the beautiful fabrics and furniture won’t be here when you move in, and if you did change the wallpaper I am thinking Katie Ridder would be a perfect candidate for bringing a chic sophisticated style to this wonderful and quirky house.

The kitchen is sleek and modern with touches of a house built in the 1920’s. Note the window in the swinging door into the dining room.
Interior courtyard with doors that lead to the kitchen and children’s play room.
The Playroom.
A casual yet comfortable place to relax with the paper off the kitchen.
One of the many outdoor terraces to enjoy a beautiful evening with guests.

13 Searles Road

13 Searles is a beauty.
Frazier Peters was an American architect of stone houses between 1920 and 1950. He lived in Westport where most of his houses can be found but Tokeneke hosts several of these beautiful landmarks. One is back on the market after being on for some time last year. It has a new price of $2,775,000 listed through Kelly Associates, 5 bedrooms, 4764 square feet and 1 flat acre. It is empty which really shows off the handsome floors and details that make it a house that you can do something unique with.
The stone, the slate…L-O-V-E!
The living room at the center of the house.
A family room retreat.
I was looking at the work of Betsy Burnham of Burnham Design and thought this look would fit right into this space. What do you think?
Betsy is from the East Coast (can you tell) but now lives in Los Angeles.
