The outdoor kitchen and dining area is conveniently close to the home’s kitchen and family room. The gentle curve of the low stone wall is not only beautiful, it makes the best use of the limited space and follows the shape of the table, creating a generous dining space as well as ample seating.

This upper level boasts two distinct focal points. At this end, the fully equipped kitchen is a comfortable area with bluestone pavement, fieldstone walls and stainless steel appliances. Granite countertops keep it virtually maintenance free.

A natural fence of evergreen trees creates privacy, with a variety of indigenous and specimen plantings. It does double duty by hiding the deer fencing in the winter months.

Creating a series of levels, stairs crafted of bluestone go along one side of the home, bringing you from ground level to the first patio, a raised structure with a comfortable seating area. Access to the backyard was created from both sides of the house.

A second stone stairway winds upward to the back of the home, and leads you to a spectacular top-level patio.

China hats, hidden in and around shrubbery, give glare-free illumination along the pathway, assuring safety while walking.
