Dintinctive Country Residence

The refined yet comfortable character of this country residence is the product of an open design combined with understated, architectural features and details. Windows of a variety of shapes and sizes reduce the apparent mass of each wall, while tower-like chimney tops and roof eaves with subtle breaks help give this inviting home its distinctive personality.
