This residence evokes the Shingle Style but with an Old World feeling both inside and outside. Sited proudly on a rise with views toward an expansive lawn, the home quietly commands the site. The approach to the house is by means of a driveway that follows the hillside border between the rolling lawn and an existing mature forest. Designed for gracious entertaining and with attention to detail, a central gallery links the major areas of the house. Within this entertainment context the living spaces nonetheless allow for a relaxed and intimate family lifestyle. The views are spectacular enough that the client requested a rooftop terrace that was artfully incorporated as a widow’s walk.
