Mid-Century Modern

Live authentically. Timberlane. Perched gracefully on a gentle slope on the western side of Park Heights Avenue. Nestled within over 14 acres of secluded, idyllic park-style grounds, this estate offers unparalleled privacy. Meandering amidst the towering trees and ascending the hill, the driveway unveils a glimpse of the two grand vintage carriage houses. Immense, regal specimen trees cast their shade over the sprawling lawns and gardens, creating an enchanting backdrop. Porte-cochère and a sheltered loggia stand ready, guiding visitors and extending a warm invitation to the front door. Originally home to a family of art collectors, Timberlane was built for entertaining and housing the family’s world-renowned art collection. Timberlane’s gardens originally showcased the collection and were the architectural model for a local museum's Sculpture Garden. Aside from housing the collection, Timberlane's exquisite gardens and terraces play host to majestic specimen hardwood and softwood trees, alongside an array of rare, mature plants, and shrubbery. The vast expanse of bluestone flagstones gracefully envelops the residence, creating numerous expansive areas and serene retreats. Positioned thoughtfully on a southeastern incline, the pool and its accompanying pool house were meticulously placed to embrace the most sun-kissed locale, ensuring an ideal blend of aquatic enjoyment and garden splendor. The pool house boasts an inviting timber-framed cathedral ceiling, a covered seating area, a fully equipped galley kitchen, and a convenient three-quarter bath. The property gains its old-world charm from the presence of two spacious outbuildings, each standing on a separately deeded parcel. The first is a 45'x24' frame barn that features a charming three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment on its second floor. The second outbuilding mirrors the same shape and style, presenting a sizable garage with a substantial room above, complete with a cement floor. The main house of Timberlane was designed and built by Palmer & Lamdin in 1940 using the finest materials and craftsmanship throughout. The original specification manual from 1939 listing all materials and workmanship to be employed in Timberlane’s construction from foundation stone to slate roofing is still in existence and transfers with the property along with two original architectural renderings. The rambling light grey painted brick structure with slate roof is a mid-century modern style masterpiece – both commanding and formal but welcoming and relaxed at the same time. An entertainer’s dream for either small or large gatherings, indoor or outdoor, formal or informal Timberlane was built to accommodate and endure. This property is comprised of two separate tax ID numbers and has the potential for three separately deeded residences. See uploaded plan. Potential for donation as well.
