New England Farmhouse

Stout weatherboards and well-mortared stone compose the exterior, but a wood-shingled roof and porches of fret-work detailing prevent any feeling of heavy-handedness. Honoring an all-important tenet of good design the house enjoys an intimate relationship with its beautiful gardens, swimming pool and outdoor fireplace. Within, the detailing is simple but very fine, with a well-laid out kitchen and family room.
