Sited on a south facing, gently sloping, twenty acre wooded parcel this one story home takes full advantage of its surrounding natural landscape. Our clients desired a home which would be open, unpretentious and above all warm, inviting and livable, indoor and out. To that end, outdoor gateways frame paths of brick and crushed granite which encircle the home and anounce walking paths beckoning visitor and owner alike to explore the surroundings.

Inside the kitchen , dinning room, and living room are open to each other, combining to form one great great room easily providing plenty of elbow room for entertaining. And for work, there are two studies (one his, one hers) at opposite ends of the house, planned for different work styles. Her study is open to the living room; his is separated far from the living spaces, with its own cast iron fireplace and quiet view to a pond directly outside his north window.
