The Gables: 136 Woodbury Road Washington, CT 06793 États-Unis

This residence was designed for Dr. William Goodwin Perry by famed architect Ehrick Rossiter in 1912. It was known as "The Gables" and was a departure from earlier works of Rossiter in that it captured the elegance of the Tudor Revival style for the new-world country estate. Notable features are a three-bay facade with ridge-to-street gable roof and intersecting cross gables with varying ridgelines. Corner scrolled brackets at eaves support cantilever gabled-ends. Outstanding architectural detailing and fine finishing is evident throughout all the rooms. There are three fireplaces, an eat-in cook's kitchen, 2 saunas, paneled library, octagonal family room, 5/6 bedrooms and eight full and three half baths. The master bedroom has 2 baths. Separate staff quarters. The cabana/pool apartment with full kitchen is attached to the main house. The very private park-like 10-acre property is electronically gated and fenced. Grounds are impeccable yet easily maintained and include sweeping lawns, swimming pool, a Har-Tru tennis court, reflecting pond, mature gardens, majestic trees and stone walls. Other buildings on the property include a four-bedroom, air-conditioned vintage guest house with 2 fireplaces, stone ice house and barn. There is garaging for 8 cars. If desired the current staff would be available. This very special offering represents the ultimate luxury in a casual atmosphere.
