This house is a New England Shingle Style-Farmhouse hybrid, with touches of National Park Lodge and Adirondack Camp, with an Arts and Crafts flavor.This is expressed through the integrated use of cedar clapboard siding and shakes, wood truss/braces and trelliswork, porches, and wrap-around deck. Furthermore, the T-shaped plan is reconciled through the use of intersecting and shifting gable-hip roof forms.

This 3,240 s.f. home is designed for living, entertainment, and participation in numerous hobbies and activities. The first floor consists of entry foyer with office/mail room, mud room/laundry, bath, kitchen/dining and great room, sunroom, pottery studio, and master bedroom suite. The second floor has a study loft, guest bedroom and bathroom. The walk-out basement level has an exercise/bedroom, bathroom, storage/mechanical space and workshop. There is also a T-shaped 2-car detached garage.

The 2.65 acre lot consists of a field with rolling hills, facing the Connecticut River Valley. A fenced-in area accommodates Shetland Sheepdogs as well as a dog agility-training field.
