Chateau Lyon is first and foremost an uncommon estate. This estate was furnished by the acclaimed designer Barry Dixon. His vision combined with that of the owners has created a beautiful home that combines the charm of time honored Europe with all the modern conveniences of the 21st century. The owner’s travels led them to the streets of Paris, to flea markets and to smaller towns of the French countryside to amass fine antiques and accoutrements to design their divine home. Chateau Lyon is inspired by the unique architecture of French villas.

Not only are modern conveniences just a short drive away, but, this home also features many modern conveniences in home as well. Modern amenities include home automation, elevator, a high powered generator and heated floors. But nothing compares to the design elements this home features.

Every single aspect of this home was under great scrutiny during the building and design process. Even the limestone walls, imported from France, were hand inspected by the owners prior to installation. Making this home an obsession, makes it truly a unique find in the midst of cookie cutter suburban dwellings. The Chateau Lyon is not a house for just a mere home owner, it is a piece of art for art collectors. It is much more than just a place to hang one’s hat.
