完美是一个相对术语，尤其是当判断由个人品味决定时。然而，公平地说，位于风景秀丽的肯尼特派克 (Kennett Pike) 上的经典杜邦家族庄园贝弗斯通 (Beverstone) 已经达到了这种卓越水平。这是一个优雅和温暖的住所。欢迎您来到带有宽敞车道的封闭式物业。它在建筑上令人印象深刻且私密。据推测，这座美国庄园以贝弗斯通城堡 (Beverstone Castle) 命名，这座 13 世纪早期的建筑仍然作为英格兰格洛斯特郡附近的一座宏伟废墟而存在。
这座房子由 Thomas Coleman duPont 和他的妻子 Alice 于 1927 年建造，是一座 7.7 英亩的实心石头建筑，景观环境无可挑剔。鉴于固有的隐私和温特图尔博物馆对面的位置，这所房子多年来一直是杜邦家族后来的成员的家，包括亨利和玛莎杜邦、贝弗利杜邦以及爱德华和露丝杜邦。该建筑为室内设计奠定了基础，可同时容纳大型娱乐和家庭生活。
房子的中心是圆形的，反映在一个巨大的前后入口房间，由一个通向三层的大楼梯的反向曲线定义。独特的装饰木制品从天花板高度开始，在不压倒空间的情况下引入建筑特色。
无可挑剔的设计眼光引导了一次翻新，在引入风格变化和现代更新的同时，精心保留了历史元素。效果明显是欧洲的，但不可否认的是原创。公共生活区，无论是正式的还是非正式的，都既吸引人又令人敬畏。正如房子得到完美维护一样，每个房间都布置精美。宽敞的主人套房拥有极致的舒适和宽敞。厨房与房子的其他部分一样完美，通向日光浴室，感觉就像花园的一部分。完成的较低层在石头和自然光下构思和执行。
房子的内部建筑很好地披上了历史和优雅的外衣。毫不矫饰地思考优雅，这是贝弗斯通设法取得的一项艰巨成就，而其他地产几乎没有做到。马蹄形车道，旨在展示建筑，回收的世纪之交花岗岩前楼梯反映了业主对外部细节的热情。同样的热情被投入到周围的花园中，每个花园都承诺一种独特的体验，只有在那里才能实现。
Perfection is a relative term, particularly when that judgment is determined by personal taste. Yet it would be fair to say that Beverstone, a classic DuPont family estate on the scenic Kennett Pike, has achieved that level of excellence. It is a residence of grace and warmth. You are welcomed to a gated property with a grand driveway. It is architecturally impressive and intimate. Presumably this American manor house was named for Beverstone Castle, an early 13th century edifice that still exists as a magnificent ruin near Gloucestershire, England.
Built by Thomas Coleman duPont and his wife, Alice, in 1927, the house is solid stone construction in a 7.7-acre, impeccably landscaped setting. Given the inherent privacy and a location across the road from Winterthur Museum, it's not surprising that the house was home to subsequent members of the duPont family over the years, including Henry and Martha duPont, Beverley duPont and Edward and Ruth duPont. The architecture sets the stage for an interior that accommodates large-scale entertaining and family living in equal measure.
The heart of the house is circular, as reflected in an enormous front-to-back entry room defined by the inverse curves of a grand staircase open to three levels. Distinctive decorative millwork begins at ceiling height and introduces architectural character without overwhelming the space.
An impeccable design eye guided a renovation that carefully preserved historic elements while introducing stylistic changes and modern updates. The effect is distinctly European yet undeniably original. Common living areas, both formal and informal, are simultaneously inviting and awe inspiring. Just as the house has been flawlessly maintained, every room is superbly appointed. The vast owner suite has the ultimate in comfort and spaciousness. The kitchen, as perfectly appointed as the rest of the house, opens onto a sunroom that feels like part of the garden. The finished lower level is brilliantly conceived and executed in stone and natural light.
The interior architecture of the house wears its mantle of history and elegance well. Think elegance without pretention, a difficult achievement that Beverstone manages to capture as few other estate properties have done. The horseshoe shaped driveway, designed to showcase the architecture, and the reclaimed turn-of-the-century granite front staircase reflect the owner's passion for exterior detail. That same passion was invested in the surrounding gardens, each one promising a unique experience that can only be realized by being there.
