High on a Norfolk hillside, "Rubly" was designed by architect Alfredo Taylor for his private home, and his needs included a stately library. The Swiss chateau style (combined with Tuscan and Tudor architecture) has six bedrooms and six-and-a-half bathrooms. It opens to a spacious center stair hall, with the living room and dining room on either end. The master suite with stone fireplace and the library on the second floor have 12-foot ceilings. The original kitchen with a fireplace was converted for vintage car storage. The property's 40 acres have returned to forest, affording privacy and quiet. Listed at $2,185,000 by Elyse Harney Real Estate.
