Evoking the gentility of an Old Country estate, this home showcases high ceilings yet envelops its owners and visitors in comfort and intimacy. A large, carefully-placed kitchen invites visitors in the living and dining areas to join the cook in conversation. A central hall extending the full width of the house delineates space while also allowing for {future} display of art. At one end is his office/drum practice area; at the other, her study/crafting space. The homeowners marveled to the builder, “We didn’t just get a beautiful home for us to live in… we got a beautiful home that was designed for how we live.”
