Traditional is one way to describe this home, simple is another. Surrounded by pine trees and nestled beside a lake, the east-facing back porch offers unrivaled views of the sunrise. When entering the home, guests walk directly into the dining room, which opens onto the expansive living room. To help define the two spaces, the designer nestled the dining area beneath an open-air bridge that connects the two upstairs wings. The stunning views of the marshland drove the living room design,” says Ken, the designer. He also wanted the room to be large enough for a family to be simultaneously connected and separate in two seating areas. The floor-to-ceiling clerestory bay window is more than just Ken’s grand gesture to the landscape; it also ensures that the wraparound porch won’t steal a sliver of light from this ethereal space. Structured on two levels, the crib boasts four bedrooms and two large bathrooms. Materials like the marble in the bathroom and kitchen, wooden floors and paneling create a harmonious collection of interior and exterior living spaces updated to the needs of a modern family. How would you see yourself living here?
