It just seems like a relatively bland piece of property for the price tag and you'd be paying for the provenance. The house while traditional and externally attractive I don't see elaborate gardens, specimine trees, low stone walls, and other elements that give a house of stature that premium feel.

(As I understood the name 'Templeton' was afixed to another Guest estate which was in 1968 sold to NY Inst. Tech. and is now a Conference Center. That property, originally built for the DuPont family, was a blockbuster done by the firm of Carrere and Hastings and landscape by Ellen Biddle Shipman.)

The interior while breaking out of the same-old type of heavy feel seems to have a bit of a modern feel gone bad by lacking in the detail with linenfold paneling and just a little bit of detail moldings to be found. The living room with the sliding glass door - instead of more expected glass french doors - sadly seems like something out of a florida ranch house.]]>Jul 16th 2008 11:44AM
