Mountain Brook Legacy Home

Custom Estate — Mountain Brook

Type: Custom Home
Style: English Country
Place: Mountain Brook, AL

Project overview

Mountain Brook Legacy Home is a limestone and slate estate in Mountain Brook, built to look as though it has always been there. The stone is laid in coursed blocks with cut surrounds, the roofs are graduated slate, and a turret marks the turn into the motor court.

The grounds hold as much building as the house. A pool house sits across a dark-bottomed pool, reached by a bridge and a curved stone stair, with a tennis court beyond. Inside, the finish work runs to bookmatched marble, unlacquered brass and walnut millwork.
