Montectio Spanish Estate Interior and Exterior. Offered by The Grubb Campbell Group, Village Properties.

This mid-century mountain modern home was originally designed in the early 1950s. The house has ample windows that provide dramatic views of the adjacent lake and surrounding woods. The current owners wanted to only enhance the home subtly, not alter its original character. The majority of exterior and interior materials were preserved, while the plan was updated with an enhanced kitchen and master suite. Added daylight to the kitchen was provided by the installation of a new operable skylight. New large format porcelain tile and walnut cabinets in the master suite provided a counterpoint to the primarily painted interior with brick floors.

A plaster arch separates the formal from the informal spaces. A groin vault ceiling in the vestibule mimics the arch of the opening and also the Canterra gate to the wine room and working pantry beyond. Alexander Stross
