A picturesque natural setting
helped to determine the design
of this prize-winning home by
Fowler Homes.
Two wings of the house
wrap around a large entertaining deck with a gabled
overhang supported by schist
stone columns. On the interior, a raked cedar ceiling is the
pièce de résistance, creating
an eye-catching feature for the
living area.
