Belgian Country Estate

This Belgian-influenced residence and companion carriage house sit on a prized corner lot in Old Cherry Hills Village, balancing architectural restraint with natural warmth. A limestone-and-concrete façade opens onto plaster walls, raw-steel railings, and European white oak, materials chosen to deepen with time, with light pulled deep into the plan so they read differently throughout the day. The kitchen and Great Room anchor daily life with reclaimed herringbone brick and an antique stone fireplace, while timeworn pieces and artisan details lend every room a settled, lived-in feel. In the dining room, antique Swedish chairs gather around a table configured by Susan Weiss, joined by a hand-thrown ceramic jug and a contemporary painting overhead, a quiet distillation of the home's philosophy. The carriage house came first, designed and built by Weiss as her own studio, with the main residence following as its larger companion. Together, the two read as one warm, considered composition, built to age beautifully.
