WORLDLY INFLUENCES

Before settling here, the homeowners lived in Rhode Island, Austria, Switzerland, and Thailand—experiences that shaped their appreciation for thoughtful architecture and well-crafted design. This home reinterprets those influences through a modern French Country lens.

FEATURES TO INSPIRE

A stucco and stone exterior establishes timeless character, while expansive glass on both the front and rear elevations introduces transparency. At the heart of the home are the light-filled kitchen and great room, featuring exposed beams and a stone fireplace. A cozy dining area overlooks the backyard, while a spacious butler’s pantry connects to a grilling deck and vaulted screened porch with a fireplace. The owner’s suite and private office are tucked into a quiet wing for added privacy, and the walkout lower level features a walk-behind bar, temperature-controlled wine cellar, media and game areas, two additional bedrooms, and an exercise room.

CLASSIC CRAFTSMANSHIP

Artisan craftsmanship is reflected in the home’s carefully selected materials and detailed finishes. A soft palette of layered neutrals creates a light foundation, while darker accents introduce contrast. Warm wood tones add richness against the neutral backdrop, while statement light fixtures bring character to the overall design. Additional details, including lighted mirrors in each bathroom and a concealed pantry door integrated into the cabinetry, add both modern function and thoughtful design touches that reflect the home’s artisan style.
