For years, I have observed my friend restore the castle exterior and grounds at Chateau Des Grotteaux with such precision, that when I heard he was selling his super iconic Lakewood home, I did a spit take with my morning commute bourbon. The grounds have been completely restored and renovated including the swimming pool, which is now a heated saltwater oasis amongst so much (real concrete) statuary that you feel like you are in Greece in 345 A.D. Flagstone walkways traverse bridges, around fish ponds, and into multiple outdoor seating vignettes including a truly one-of-a-kind secret garden that was a sight to behold during construction.
