Frances Mayes个人住宅
“你在哪里就是你。该位置在您内部移动得越远，您的身份与它的交织就越多。选择地点绝非随便，就是您渴望的事物的选择。” –托斯卡纳阳光下的弗朗西丝·梅斯（Frances Mayes）
托斯卡纳太阳下的著名作家弗朗西斯·梅斯（Frances Mayes）和丈夫埃德（Ed）在北卡罗来纳州希尔斯伯勒宁静的历史悠久的村庄外仅两英里处，就爱美地增强了另一件杰作。占地三十英亩，有迷人的砖墙花园房，田园风光，林木宁静的地区，著名的伊诺河、,的溪流以及最重要的和平与隐私。
“查特伍德是我们的天堂。这片土地上有9座建筑，其中包括1806年建造的3卧室，3800平方英尺的联邦主义农舍。有一个可追溯至1770年的谷仓，一间招待所和一些迷人的附属建筑，多年来，农舍是由贵格会教徒建造的，是旅馆边缘小巷里的谷物磨坊的旅馆和小酒馆，我们的土地与著名的埃诺河接壤，约600英尺远。” – Frances Mayes，《华尔街日报》
当您首次将目光投向Chatwood时，成熟的胡桃木丛生的树林环绕着车道。然后，您会意识到它已经为另外两个世纪的生命做好了准备。玛雅人建于19世纪初期，并在《国家地方历史名胜》中列出，在修复过程中遵守这些规定。双层前门是对Quaker原始建造者的过去和实用性的致敬。一侧是小酒馆的入口，另一侧是一家人的家。整个房间面积很大，房屋经过了现代化的装修，包括七个壁炉。地热供暖，新的金属屋顶，密封的爬行空间和隔热材料是隐藏但有价值的现代必需品。娱乐性是Mayes的标志。完全现代化的厨房配有原始壁炉，轻而易举。主浴室可与单独的水槽和浸泡浴缸媲美任何新居。在历史悠久的房屋中很难找到壁橱空间不是问题，因为三楼被用作主卧室的溢流壁橱。这不仅是一座拥有房屋的房屋，还不仅仅是一个地方，它还是一座拥有悠久记忆的房屋。
朋友，家人，一个特殊的人，您自己的孤独体现了一个地方并将成为的地方。地点是人们参与或您思考和思考的不断变化的背景。地方可以适应。地方可以增强。地方可以发展。在Chatwood开始新的篇章。
夏末，您最亲密的朋友来庆祝当地美食和美酒。三十英亩的私有土地提供了几个花园，有些被围成植物室，现在可以种植传家宝蔬菜和玫瑰。托斯卡纳风格的就餐凉亭在悠长而缓慢的卡罗来纳州夜晚舒适地摆放。厨房通过凉棚游行，为人们提供了清淡却丰盛的美食。附近的经过盐水过滤的游泳池反射着蜡烛，八月的夜晚照亮了乡村的星光。谷仓于1770年建造，很容易转变成娱乐场所，它早于房屋并俯瞰游泳池。 Vivaldi在后台播放。这个地方毫不费力地奠定了另一个美好记忆的基础，并提出了一些新的伟大故事，这些故事将被重新讲述。乔治·格什温说得最好，“夏日和Livin轻松”。查特伍德（Chatwood）的花园就在其中，日子漫长而漫长，是在溪流旁徘徊，看书的最佳时机，也许是弗朗西斯·梅斯（Frances Mayes）读的书。那么，为什么要离开您的田园风光呢？
Frances Mayes Personal Home
“ Where you are is who you are. The further inside you the place moves, the more your identity is intertwined with it. Never casual the choice of place is the choice of something you crave.” – Frances Mayes, Under the Tuscan Sun
Frances Mayes, famous author of Under the Tuscan Sun , and husband Ed have lovingly enhanced another masterpiece just two miles outside the peaceful, historic village of Hillsborough, North Carolina. Encompassing thirty acres, there are enchanting brick walled garden rooms, pastoral views, serene wooded areas, the renowned Eno River, a babbling brook and most of all peace and privacy.
"Chatwood is a paradise for us. There are nine structures on the land including a three-bedroom, 3800 square foot Federalist farmhouse built in 1806. There is a barn that dates to 1770, a guest house and several charming out-buildings that must have been added higgledy-piggledy over the years. The farmhouse was built by the Quakers as an inn and tavern for the gristmill down the lane, at the edge of our property. Our land borders the famed Eno River, which is about six hundred feet away." – Frances Mayes, The Wall Street Journal
A stately grove of mature walnut trees encircles the driveway when you first lay eyes on Chatwood. You then realize it is poised for another two centuries of life. Built in the early nineteenth century and listed on the National Historic Register of Places , the Mayes adhered to those codes during their restoration. The double front doors are a nod to the past and the practicality of the original Quaker builders. One side was an entrance to the tavern and the other was the family’s home. The rooms throughout are substantial in size and the home has been retro fitted to the modern age including the seven fireplaces throughout. Geothermal heating, a new metal roof, a sealed crawl space and insulation are hidden yet valuable modern essentials. Entertaining is a hallmark of the Mayes. The totally modernized kitchen, complete with an original fireplace, makes this a breeze. The main bath rivals any new home with separate sinks and a soaking tub. Hard to find closet space in a historic home is not an issue as the third floor is outfitted as an overflow closet for the main bedroom. More than just a house on an estate, more than just a place, this is a home with a long record of memories.
Friends, family, a special someone, your own solitude embody what a place is and can become. Place is the ever changing backdrop where people engage or you reflect and think. Place can adapt. Place can enhance. Place can evolve. Start your new chapter at Chatwood.
Late summer and some of your closest friends are coming to celebrate good local food and fine wine. The thirty private acres offer several gardens, some walled as botanical rooms, now yielding the heirloom vegetables and roses. The Tuscany inspired dining gazebo is set casually, comfortably for the long, slow Carolina evening. The kitchen, via the pergola, parades a light but sumptuous fare feeding the conversation. The nearby salt-water filtered swimming pool reflects the candles and the dazzling country starlight illuminating the August night. Easily converted into an entertaining venue, the barn constructed in 1770, predates the house and overlooks the pool. Vivaldi plays in the background. This place effortlessly lays the foundation for another fine memory and some new great stories meant to be retold.George Gershwin said it best, " Summertime and the Livin' is Easy ". Chatwood's gardens are in, the days are long and the perfect time to linger by the stream and read a book, perhaps one by Frances Mayes. So why leave the bucolic peace of your place....Chatwood.
