A hot tub and poolhouse anchor the far end of the swimming pool while the main house is on the opposite side. Widely-spaced slabs of bluestone surround the pool and are set into the lawn.

A 400 square foot two-story addition and deck were tucked onto the back of his charming 1940’s 1-1/2 story colonial revival home, providing a new vaulted master bathroom and family room. The classic layout and character of the home were enhanced by remodeling the kitchen and opening it up to the new family room, which includes a wall of large windows overlooking the back yard.
