Leonard Masonry’s craftsmanship is showcased in both intricate detail and monumental stone throughout the home. The contemporary design incorporates a stone veneer exterior with limestone trim and an EIFS (exterior insulated finished system) covering portions of the exterior. A large cut stone band stretches around the exterior, modulating to form different planes and a transition between the stone and EIFS. A low-hip roof with large overhangs is composed of Pennsylvania slate with purple hues to echo the window framing and purple Chilton cut stone that comprises 20 percent of the mix in the exterior walls. Leonard Masonry also installed matching stone veneer on a detached five-car garage and garden walls of cut stone at the front entrance.
Leonard Masonry built five fireplaces within the residence, including two composed of cut stone. A large decorative limestone archway with triangular corner cutouts and overhang frames the main entry. The property also features antique French limestone walkways that provide access to the front of the home and rear patio areas and garden walls of cut stone at the front entrance. Leonard Masonry’s work on the interior included the five fireplaces, marble columns and granite countertops throughout the house.
