2022 Luxury Home Tour: James McNeal Architecture & Design, Luke Busker Masonry

Huntington Manor is a solid stone work of art and an estate home rooted in the Richardsonian Romanesque style with a unique steampunk twist. Located in the coveted Orono countryside, the 2019 home is a unique design-build collaboration between famed architect James McNeal and masonry artist Luke Busker. Nestled on 3-plus private acres, a look inside the 10,298-square-foot manor reveals exceptional architectural features constructed from limestone, steel, and white oak. The chef’s kitchen features soapstone countertops, professional-grade appliances, a walk-in cooler, and a butler’s pantry. The grand spiral staircase leads to the luxurious upper-level primary suite with sweeping views and two junior en suite bedrooms. Perfect for entertaining, the lower level showcases the trio-arched stone fireplace, temperature-controlled wine storage, and pub bar. To help Busker and McNeal’s vision come to life, the firms worked with LBM Stone & Fab, master finish carpenter John Sorenson, Baker Stairworks, Detail Ink, and Eiswald Ltd. Each surface and room is a testament to their combined efforts and truly demonstrates what artistry, stone, and steel can accomplish.
