Custom-designed by architect Crawford Horne and built by local builder Ritter Homes, this 3 BR / 3.5 BA home draws on Frank Lloyd Wright's belief that a house should live as easily outside as in.You feel it the moment you arrive — towering mature trees, rooflines with a character all their own, perennial gardens that come back fuller every year, and a fenced yard with a driveway gate that makes the whole place safe for children and pets. This is a light-filled home, and a warm one. Step onto the covered Trex porch and into a welcoming vestibule, then through to the great room, where a stacked-stone wood-burning Rumford fireplace sits between beautifully scalloped built-in shelves and cabinets. A clerestory and a full wall of windows wash the space in morning and evening light. Keep an eye out for the squares the architect threaded throughout — in the windows, the cabinet doors, the molding above each doorway.Off the great room, the kitchen is as comfortable as it is well appointed: breakfast space, granite counters, stainless appliances, and a few leaded-glass cabinet doors that catch the light. Follow the hardwood floors to the primary suite — tray ceiling, gas fireplace, windows on every side, and a private Trex deck of its own. Pocket doors open to dual walk-in closets and an updated bath with walk-in shower, soaking tub, and windows that make the room feel like a retreat.At the other end of the home, the laundry, two more bedrooms with an adjoining full bath, a studio wrapped in square windows and skylights, and a screened porch shared by the studio and a bedroom — an easy circuit for kids, guests, or quiet mornings. The oversized garage handles both vehicles and real storage. And below it all, a full unfinished walk-out basement with full-size windows, a full bath, and a workshop — plenty of room to shape a family room, playroom, or gym.Updates: Trex decking (2024), roof (2024), partial bath remodels (2024), new water pump (2021).
