Welcome to the Twilight Open House!

The Grande Folly Open House on October 16 was a huge success and enjoyed by all. There were 51 guests in attendance to see and enjoy this spectacular Queen Ann Victorian. As you entered through the stone pillars and gate there was Valet parking. The approach to the home was made inviting by the fall decorations, pumpkins and gourds picked from the garden. Upon entering, the beautiful and talented Yana Manovskaya was playing the Grand Piano and sound carried throughout the house. Appetizers and hors d’oeuvres were found throughout but most were in the kitchen, being a focal point for food. The longer you lingered, the more detail of the construction and design of this home resonated with everyone. The family room, breakfast area and sitting room provided a logical flow for the guests.

The very popular 5,000 bottle wine cellar and tasting room was also a main attraction and you could play a few games in the arcade on the way in or out. The exercise room with dual TV located behind the mirrors with dual headsets was not utilized, nor was the 6 – 8 person Sauna. There is also a sound proof room for children to express their wildest voices, and a private guest suite that will make your guests feel welcome.

Upstairs were the bedrooms, and a walk up to an unfinished attic space with the potential of becoming a great master bedroom/bathroom suite.

The Open House just seemed to fly by as guests arrived and departed, and it was a great evening enjoyed by all. For more interior photos, visit Flickr.
