A bolder character emerges in this vaulted living space, where a grand limestone mantel stands tall beneath exposed wood beams.

Here, limestone steps into drama. A soaring, overmantel limestone masterpiece rises up two stories, capped with intricate friezes and bold pilasters. The stone bears the imprint of centuries both in its architectural profile and its fossil-rich face. In a room framed by white millwork and bathed in natural light, this mantle becomes a shrine of craftsmanship. Every groove, every groove cut, feels deliberate almost reverent.
