This new home was built on a large, open rear lot affording great privacy and a natural setting. The compact traditional, four-square design puts all rooms on corners with windows on two walls which fills every room with natural light. South-facing informal living spaces are bright and light all day throughout the winter. 3rd floor features a large open room with interesting geometry from hip-roof and dormers on all four sides. A detached garage protects against exhaust gasses from garage entering the house.
