This 6,200 square foot residence was designed to achieve results for a spec house of less than $200 a square foot. The octagon tower, wide front porch, the stone wing-wall and ‘broken-down’ massing of the design evokes the traditional Shingle-Style house. The main level features a large kitchen /family room. Tall ceilings and open stair create an entry foyer that is washed in afternoon light of this house. The touch of interior stone and wood beams complete the look.
