The Project

This home is a transitional French country home with coated brick, high contrasting windows and a large front porch. To appeal to today’s market of home buyers, the home’s clean architectural design includes an open floor plan with big windows and high ceilings. The windows and expanded doors also help fill the rooms with natural light. Multiple fireplaces, dormer elements and decorative beams add to the character of the house and create a luxurious contemporary feel. Some key features of this home include the gourmet kitchen, a screened-in loggia, a gorgeous outdoor kitchen and dining gazebo, and two play lofts in the attic that can be accessed through two of the kids’ rooms. In the main-floor owner’s suite, you’ll find a large ensuite bathroom, his and her closets, and a morning bar.
