1811 Hollow Drive – Where Time Stands Stil There are homes that impress—and then there are homes that enchant. Built in 2009 by the master artisans of Zaveta, this nearly 10,000 sq. ft. estate feels as though it has stood for centuries, its presence as timeless as the stone from which it is built. Hand-selected, authentic stone elevations greet you at the end of a sweeping circular drive, framed by mature trees and lush plantings that whisper of a slower, more gracious time. The grounds themselves are a living painting—bordered by protected township land, with a gentle stream winding alongside a walking path. Here, mornings begin with birdsong and evenings end beside the glow of one of six fireplaces found throughout the property. In between, life unfolds around the resort-style pool with grotto, steaming hot tub, children’s splash pool, and charming pool house with its own bath. Flagstone terraces, an outdoor kitchen, and a pergola all create spaces meant for long, laughter-filled gatherings. For the collector or hobbyist, the estate offers both a two-car attached garage for everyday convenience and a separate detached two-car garage with attic space—ideal for storage, a workshop, or future studio. Step inside, and the romance deepens. Every ceiling tells its own story—vaulted and crowned with trestles, delicately tray-framed, or lined in beadboard, just as they would have been in an 18th-century manor. The craftsmanship is unrivaled: rich custom millwork, solid wood doors crowned with transoms, deep-set window sills, and a foyer where an old-world arch frames a sweeping staircase with a view straight through to the gardens beyond. The formal dining room, able to host twenty with ease, is served by a butler’s pantry complete with a catering kitchen. The main gourmet kitchen is a culinary sanctuary—two Sub-Zero refrigerators, dual convection ovens, a grand granite island, and ceilings that soar eighteen feet overhead. The living spaces flow like poetry: a formal living room with fireplace and custom built-ins; a four-season stone hearth room with fireplace, reminiscent of an enclosed porch from another era; a cherry-paneled library for quiet study; and a family room with solid wood trestles and a towering stone fireplace that seems to warm both the body and the soul. Additional fireplaces grace the primary suite, the lower level, and the outdoor living area, making warmth and ambiance a constant companion. Upstairs, five bedrooms each offer their own walk-in closets and private retreats. The primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself, with vaulted trestled ceilings, a balcony worthy of a film scene, and a bath dressed in Calcutta marble—an oversized herringbone shower, soaking tub, dual vanities, and a private water closet. The enchantment continues on the walkout lower level, where leisure and indulgence meet. A stone-accented wine cellar awaits your finest vintages, while a custom wood bar invites evenings of laughter and conversation. There’s a game room for spirited competition, a dedicated craft room for creative pursuits, and a guest bedroom with its own private bath. An additional powder room, abundant storage, and direct access to the outdoors make this level as functional as it is inviting. From its three-story elevator to the unfinished walk-up attic and state of the art utilities this well thought out masterpiece is awaiting its next chapter, this is a home built for a lifetime, yet crafted to feel like it has already lived one. At 1811 Hollow Drive, you don’t just purchase a property—you inherit a legacy.
