Nestled on a one-way road that leads from the hustle and bustle of everyday life to the haven of home, this traditional Fairlawn Heights home is anything but. From the subtle exterior to the expanded living spaces, this eclectic home — both contemporary and traditional — is waiting to show off its holiday cheer!
The foyer gives a golden welcome to one and all, with delicate trees lit from within. Santa, who is making sure you are on the list, invites you to explore each exquisite detail. A grand black-and-gold tree shines brightly, and a smaller tree beckons you to enter the living room. Swags add cheer, while pillows and throws add coziness to this comfortable gathering space.
The office reveals a built-in bar brimming with holiday apéritifs to get the holiday spirit flowing. Nutcrackers stand guard behind the desk, flanked by matching red-andgold wreaths hung from the glass-fronted bookcases. This small working space is lit by a Parisian-themed tree in the corner, which brings joy to the work day.
The original bedroom hallway leads to an area reimagined specifically for guests to enjoy. A peek in the full bath reveals tubs of bubbly baubles in a red, green, and gold atmosphere where anyone can relax and refresh. Further down the hallway, a painting by Winston Churchill’s nephew invites lucky houseguests into a private suite, complete with a soothing bedroom, private bath, and sitting room. Here, the weary can relax with a quiet French bulldog, perhaps unlike the one who lives here, and get away for a moment of tranquility.
Garden gnomes are enjoying the tranquil guest room, and a small tree lights up the full bath. Red-and-green trees shimmer in both the bedroom and sitting room, where the drinks are served in style! They provide twinkling, soothing light to all who enter.
Set for a Christmas dinner to remember, the dining room has been transformed into a glittering array of holiday specialties, including a watchful crow with true Christmas spirit! A Santa chef lets you know what is on the menu for the festive feast. On the buffet, an impressive collection of Byers’ Choice Carolers sing with merry cheer. Dressed in red to add to the jolly ambiance, a corner tree twinkles. Above the elegant silver-rimmed dishes set for the roast beast, shining Christmas baubles create an unforgettable light for this holiday party.
The kitchen is bustling, but before the cooks are finished, everyone needs a moment of peace. A new addition, the owner’s suite is a quiet respite from all the trappings of the season.
A small powder room for guests brims with blue-and-gold festive touches, while a shining tree draws you into the primary bedroom. Calming blues and greens bring holiday cheer but soothe the soul. Even the thoughtfully designed bath has festive touches to make the season bright. Everywhere, special items make this room a holiday retreat for the owners and their dog. The floor-to-ceiling windows give a glimpse of the outdoor oasis, accessible from the bedroom or the cozy family gathering room.
Busy cooks have the kitchen hopping with expectations of holiday delights. The window overlooking the private back patio brims with Christmas cheer, and an entrancing Christmas village is spread along the counter’s tiled backsplash. The island features a useful five-burner gas cooktop, and the granite countertop is laden with treats for all to enjoy. The china cabinet is filled with treasures and crystal that is ready to serve holiday drinks to family and friends. Christmas friends sit atop the cabinet, ready to join in any festivities.
The family gathering room is a dream come true in icy blues. From the chinoiserie on the hearth to the stockings hung with care to the decked-out mantel, this cozy room overflows with seasonal charm and warmth.
A floating cabinet behind the sofa glitters with garland greens and blue-and-silver Christmas balls, matching the display on the TV cabinet. Shimmering silver trees surround Santa’s sleigh and reindeer, which command the focus of everyone’s attention. The pub table offers a seat to view the party, both inside and out. A bauble-filled tree by the doorway wishes you a happy and gay Christmas! Santa and a snowman overlook the festive bar cart, ready with after-dinner drinks.
As you head out, glance around for a last view of this open gathering space decked out for everyone to enjoy a spectacular Fairlawn Heights holiday cheer.
