Inspired by the American farmhouse, the design of the exterior of the home incorporates a covered front porch, clapboard and board & batten siding, a metal roof, and traditional white-painted trim. A wide stone walkway leads to the understated entry to the home. A large covered porch with stone flooring, tongue and groove ceiling and outdoor ceiling fans invites you to hangout and relax. Tucking the upper floor rooms into the roof allow the apparent mass of the home to be reduced. Large windows and doors by Andersen allow ample light to reach all rooms of the home.
