Resembling a series of gables cottages connected together and stretching along the Wye River, this home's lineal plan layout affords water views from every room, as well as direct access to terraces that facilitate indoor/outdoor living. Steeply pitched gables and deeply set eaves bestow the character of Maryland's vernacular architecture. A colonnade connects the main house to the pool house with cabana, guest quarters, office and three-car garage.
