Situated in the heart of Broadmoor, this Anhalt Tudor home combines classical architectural detailing with thoughtful updates for the way we live today. Known as the Millard-May house, this was Anhalt's favorite home and he punctuated it with oodles of delicious details: a timbered entry dormer, a dramatic vaulted beamed ceiling, stained glass windows, a Dutch door and brass nailhead trim. Embracing its super-power (charm and ambience) at every turn, this home has been completely updated by the team of Bosworth Hoedemaker and Garret Cord Werner.
