This 3,500 SF house is located on a gentle slope commanding the view of a secluded meadow. Designed for an avid reader and gardener retiring from an active corporate life, the design reflects the owner’s interest in preserving the large open meadow of roughly 15 acres. It was designed to convey the feeling of a contemporary farm house. The cross plan provides immediacy to the outdoors for all spaces. The primary entrance is located at the middle level, with the living room, dining room and kitchen offering breathtaking views of the meadow. The master bedroom and den are located on the upper level; and two more bedrooms are provided on the lower level with direct access to the outside.
