When the clients request at 15th century Fortified English Manor House for their spectacular collection of antiques CRS eagerly accepted the challenge. Historical research on traditional castle design coupled with contemporary lifestyle needs was blended into this unique home. Located on a high hilltop overlooking the Trout Creek valley the 5,000 square feet of above ground space was a challenge to make it appear like a much larger castle. The challenge was accomplished by placing the two upper level bedrooms toward the front of the home and adding stepped parapet walls to screen the roof lines beyond. Many spaced in the home were specifically designed to fit the owner’s antique furniture such as the 12 foot tall headboards in the guest rooms. Octagonal turrets, beveled glass, windows, real plaster moldings and crowns, marble floors. The castle has been featured on the Travel Channel and the made for TV documentary series American Castles, as well as published in Castles of Colorado published by Johnson Books of Boulder Colorado.
