点评:The St. Georges took an already grand Victorian lady & turned her into an elaborate castle. I have visited many grand homes all across the US. Havencrest Castle is the only one that is filled with works of art made by the homeowners. Every detail lovingly placed by the owners (not an unrelated decorator). Each room tells a story. If you are fortunate enough to tour on a day that Alan is at home in the ballroom be sure to ask him about his favorite things...favorite painting...favorite room... and, most importantly ask why. You will undoubtably leave with new insight and perhaps, some inspiration for how you can make your own home even more uniquely yours. I suggest you take your time and linger a moment in each space. There are "hidden" treasures where you'd least expect them.
