Ocean Course View taken for Granite!

The outside fireplace is much smaller but the view of the Ocean Course Golf course from this porch is absolutely extraordinary.  

Take a look at the bluestone used on the porches.  The colors selected for this project are magnificent.  The owner went to extremes to select the perfect granite material to use on the hearth on mantel on this fireplace.  

This is a great shot of the before on the interior fireplace.

Here is a close up of the interior fireplace and the arched surround over the opening.  The material is set out from the rest of the stone to create a unique look.  

Gilchrist Masonry installed the stone on the fireplace.  Imagine taking a pile stones shown in the picture below and creating this fireplace.  It takes a master craftsmen to do this feat. 

The stone selected was a granite stone we call Adirondack Granite.  It is a medium to coarse grained granite with a diverse blend of rustic earth tones.  

This stonework on this job is fantastic. 

Take a look at the finished product with the granite hearth installed and the mantel.  

Here is a professional shot of the completed job.
