Casual comfort and well thought through details make a relaxing space
This home has it all: style, comfort, texture, natural light, and a connection to the outdoors. The owner’s set out to create a casual, comfortable home that centers around family and entertaining. The Great Room features beautiful architectural details, including built-in shelving, reclaimed white-oak beams with an oil finish, and a Rumford fireplace crafted from local granite and accented with a red-oak mantel milled from timber cut down on the property. Wright-Ryan’s millwork shop built the shelving and window seats, which are sized to allow for wood storage underneath. Granite slabs that match the hearth line the storage compartments.
