Almost all of the rooms in the home enjoy views toward the pond and the sunny southeastern exposure. Large overhangs shield the home from summer sun, but allow the winter sun to penetrate deep into the interior of the home. Covered porches off of the master bedroom, library, and living room invite outdoor living when the weather permits. Screened porches also extend the outdoor living season. Large stone walls retain the earth, ground the home to the site, and make way for the daylight basement below. A family room and guest suite open onto a patio adjacent to a future swimming pool.
