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...
