Proper English

This Afton abode provides a study in luxury

He wanted an English pub-style retreat. She was in love with English Country. Luckily, Don Nelson, owner of American Classic Homes, and Tom Rauscher, president of Rauscher/Robichaud & Associates, knew just how to satisfy both homeowners. By seamlessly blending these two styles, the team created a match made in Afton. This 5,600-square-foot home features everything the busy family of five wanted—right down to the decorative drawer pulls in each of the home’s three-and-half baths.

Having lived in England, the family reveled in the casual elegance, softness of color, brick and stone combinations, and warm and inviting feel English homes are known for. With an arched, stone entrance to the back garden, a carriage house-style garage, and a courtyard outfitted for a future fountain, their new home showcases all that and more. —A.K.
