Englehart Homes Project 25

INDULGE IN BRILLIANCE

This is a grand and intricate French provincial-inspired, five-bedroom home created by the Englehart Design Team that takes advantage of the site’s slope and northern orientation, suiting the client’s lifestyle requirements. The home has been designed and built to offer European refinement, uncompromising quality and value for money.

The design features traditional French provincial proportions and symmetry with pairs of French casement windows and dormer attic windows with a Spanish natural slate tiled mansard roof.

Feature columns adjacent to the foyer introduce a formal living area with a marble fireplace and integrated glazed cabinetry.
