This home was built on white rock with bell-bottom piers (not to be confused with bell-bottom pants) in 1969, by its original owners. He was in the building products manufacturing business: door entrances. He sold to Pella Windows, which is every small-company owner’s dream. Thus the owners, who raised their family in this home, had both a keen eye and an “in” for high-quality materials. The exterior doors are solid Andean walnut from Bolivia; the double spiral banister on the front stairway was imported from Sedrina, Italy; the plentiful crown molding is imported from Cremona, Italy—well, you get the picture. The owners also installed an elaborate outdoor lighting system and a new HVAC and hot water heaters in 2007. But last summer they really went to town: scraped hardwoods in the living room, granite counters in the kitchen, new faucets, and new light fixtures. In other words, this home is turnkey.
