Belle Maison, Estate of the Day

Another gorgeous home listed by Daniel Gale. When you name a home Belle Maison odds are that you aren't terribly original but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. This eight-bedroom home was built with an eye to the classics. The listing says "done to perfection" and they are not lying. The rooms were all done by a designer and are each a study in traditional decorating styles. The library is done in plaid walls as classic as flannel pajamas There is a pink confection of a bedroom and another that includes a charming little alcove for reading and the kitchen is done in yellow gingham. Outside is as classic as inside with a tranquil turquoise pool and a tangle of summer flowers. It is listed at $8.25 million.
