Home life centers around the Cadoux-designed outdoor pavilion with a stone fireplace. It even has built-in storage for a cord of wood. The upstairs game room, overlooking the pavilion and pool, is perfect for when the parties move inside.
A small garden with an urn fountain lies between the new barn/garage and the pavilion. Outdoor showers are conveniently located just steps from the pool.
The family room banquette was made with reclaimed hickory and a Kravet fabric.
The powder room glows with a backlit onyx vanity, which complements the Osborne & Little pinstripe wall covering.
The game room’s knotty cedar doors were made on-site.
Hammerton pendant lights hang from an antique hewn chestnut beam over the billiard table.
The vegetable garden is the domain of the home owner. Here, she grows everything from berries and flowers to squash and rhubarb.
