Picturesquely nestled into North Carolina’s lush landscape, this home takes its cues from landmark estates, lovely vistas, and creatively imagined indoor-outdoor living. A clean-lined riff on the hallmarks of traditional architectural romance, it’s charmed by plaster walls, sweeping iron staircases, and richly embellished ceilings. Everywhere, steel-framed, floor-to-ceiling windows and doors welcome natural light, views, and connections – between outside and in, and between rooms.
Elegant yet restrained, its interiors feature an eclectic mix: antiques; custom furnishings and SHIIR rugs; art; and artifacts, reflecting a long marriage’s worth of world travels and bountiful personal interests. Palettes are primarily muted, but sparked by vibrant accessories that allow the architecture to star. A home that functions as well for working as for entertaining, it presents a fresh interpretation of classic style.
