The dining pavilion, which can be lit up at night, acts as an outdoor entertaining space that’s surrounded by peaceful gardens completed by Christa Moné.

Let’s take a look around the main house…
Architect Andrew Mann and interior designer Katie McCaffrey of Angus – McCaffrey Interior Design collaborated on the partial remodel of the house, which was originally built in 1974 by Roland Miller Associates.

Andrew focused on form making, while Katie defined a material palette different in feel and mood from their client’s city house. Exposed wood beams and a wood ceiling complement the wood floors and furniture found in the open plan living room and dining area.

Behind the dining room is the kitchen, which includes minimalist white and gray cabinets, a breakfast bar, and an island with a waterfall countertop.

In the bedrooms, there are high ceilings and walls of wood-framed windows that fill the rooms with natural light.

In the bathrooms, the color palettes have been kept neutral, with only the tile flooring providing a decorative accent.
