Shingles Style with style. Attention to detail and the owner's desire to have a traditional house with an expansive property in Ruxton, MD. make this house appear to be an existing estate. Romanticized from the drive around the rear lawn along the woods to circular drive at the front entry all the way through the central gallery on all floors.
The Shingle style is perfect for creating simple forms punctuated with incredible detail. As grand as the house is, the formal Billiard, Library, Family, Dining, Living Room, Bar, Sun Room, and Kitchen still feel relaxed and intimate and all are linked by the main gallery and by two grand stairs at the ends of the gallery.
