The library sports a Stark rug, Lee Industries ottoman and Century chairs upholstered in linen and leather.
While conceiving a grand waterfront estate in Centreville, Maryland, architect Cathy Purple Cherry worked with interior designers on her staff to create a furnishings plan that would complement its traditional architecture. “The home exudes a strong sense of scale yet never feels overwhelming due to custom millwork incorporated throughout,” explains Purple Cherry.
A mix of new and antique furniture, sculpture and fine art fills elegant yet inviting rooms. Two floating staircases adorned with three-story custom chandeliers; a two-story bar with Douglas fir trusses; and a brick-floored potting room are among the home’s one-of-a-kind features. Says Purple Cherry, “The owners realized a lifelong dream for a waterfront retreat.”
